Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 502, Chapter 498: A Low-Health Counterattack Against Taurus & Using the Enemy to Defeat the Enemy
"Why is Little Taurus here? Has the cosmic rift leading to this dimension opened to him?"

Qi Ming's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Diablo swaggering ahead, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.

Although Diablo's performance was somewhat comical and he was even killed by Shank, it doesn't mean he lacked skill.

In the original "Triga" series, he was first restrained by the three Dark Giants, which caused some of his energy to be taken away. Then he was hit by the combined attacks of the fully powered Ultraman Shant, Ultraman Ribut, and Ultraman Nasdis, which resulted in him losing one life.

Based on his performance in "Ultraman Galaxy Fight 3", he is at the mid-level of A-class.

Now, Qi Ming, who has transformed into Eternal Shining Trigger, has run out of energy after fighting dozens of mechanical Ultra Brothers.

The enemy is strong while we are exhausted; in this situation, we encounter a Diablo at full strength...

Diavolo looked around at the mechanical Ultra Brothers who were assuming a fighting stance: "Why aren't you surrendering yet? Do I have to beat you into submission before you'll know what's good for you?"

As the ultimate life form of the kingdom, Diablo has always been arrogant and considers everyone except the Absolutians of the kingdom to be inferior beings.

The weak should submit to the strong.

Helotia's face darkened as she ordered, "Attack both of them at once!"

After she gave the order, the five mechanical Ultra Brothers charged towards Diavolo.

Diablo scoffed, "A pointless struggle."

He swung his arm and threw a heavy punch at the back of the head of the mechanical Zoffy who was charging at the front, knocking him to the ground. He then swung his fist at the chest of the second mechanical Jack who was charging at the front, and then flipped over and swung his fist at the mechanical Ace who was attacking from behind.

In an instant, the three mechanical Ultra Brothers were sent flying backward like rag dolls.

As the first mechanical Seven charged at them, Diavolo delivered a side punch and a straight punch, sending them flying hundreds of meters like kites with broken strings.

As soon as they started fighting, all five mechanical Ultra Brothers were defeated.

This is Little Taurus. Although he always dies miserably in high-level games, he's incredibly good at crushing noobs in low-level games.

In the original series, he was incredibly arrogant when he bullied Astra and the Dark Three, and when he was using Lightning Bolt.

Mecha Ace struggled to his feet, but Diablo unleashed another powerful Bull-Breaking Fist, instantly shattering Mecha Ace into pieces—dismembering him.

Kumano exclaimed in amazement, "Such powerful strength, such formidable fist techniques!"

Helotia's face was grim. This guy was indeed troublesome. Like Shant, she found that she could only use sheer numbers against someone of this level.

"As the grandmaster of the Cosmic Beast Fist, dealing with you guys is a piece of cake." Diablo clenched his right fist, boasting of his power.

He then turned to Shant, whose color timer was flashing, and pointed to the head of the mechanical Ace lying on the ground: "If you don't want this to happen to you, you'd better hand over the energy obediently."

Huimei: "Oh no, he's got his eye on Qi Ming."

Torregia: "How about we retreat first?"

Qi Ming took a deep breath and said calmly, "No need. It would be too pathetic to use Flash to escape Taurus."

The next moment, he deliberately canceled the Shining Blade and waved to Taurus in a provocative manner.

Enraged, Diablo leaped up and delivered a powerful backhand punch to Shant's face.

Qi Ming caught Diablo's punch with his left hand, deflected it, and then threw Diablo far away with an overhead throw.

Use the opponent's strength against them, and overcome strength with softness.

"Bang!" Diablo fell flat on his back, clutching his chest as he quickly got up and attacked again: "Not bad, come on."

He attacked again with fierce punches, but Qi Ming caught him with a waist elbow strike, pulled him up with a front kick, and then grabbed his arm and hooked his neck, throwing Diablo to the ground once more.

Diablo shook his head and quickly stood up, but as soon as he stood up, he was met with Shant's left kick. He raised his arm to block but could not deflect the force and was knocked to the ground again.

"Damn it, don't be so arrogant." Seeing Shant continue his attack, Diablo, in a fit of anger, unleashed his ultimate move again: "Powerful Bull-Slaying Fist!"

A bull-shaped fist imprint struck Shant, but Qi Ming, with his lightning-fast reflexes and excellent body coordination, dodged to the side. He then retaliated with a relatively low-energy flash bombardment. This strike landed squarely on Diablo's chest, causing him to grunt and stagger back several steps.

After all, it is a body of flesh and blood, and it will still react to pain.

"Is this what they call a grandmaster of boxing? All I see is a punching bag that just throws wild punches?" Qi Ming said slowly.

"You're asking for death!" Diablo roared in fury, his already chaotic fist techniques becoming even more disordered, resembling Belial after being physically attacked by Qi Ming in the Monster Graveyard.

Qi Ming seized the opening Diablo made and launched a ruthless counterattack, leaving Diablo looking ridiculous and boosting the morale of his allies.

It feels pain, it has a human form, but almost no fighting spirit and a poor mentality.

This is why Qi Ming's Flash can still overpower Diablo even when his energy is low—Qi Ming is a perfect counter to this type of opponent.

“But it’s actually quite difficult to kill him…” Qi Ming looked at Diablo, who could still get up quickly after being thrown several times, and shook his head slightly.

This guy may not be very bright, but his defense is really high.

Like Dark Zagi, although his physical skills are lacking, his body is still too resilient.

Diavolo was also stunned; he understood what the flashing color timer on his chest meant to Ultraman.

I was actually beaten down by a guy who was at his last gasp? Does that mean I'm far inferior to him?
His pride makes it hard for him to accept this.

Looking at the increasingly rapid color timer on Shane's chest, he said, "You don't have much strength left. You're just barely holding on with your last bit of energy. This won't last much longer."

Qi Ming remained silent, only relentlessly striking Diablo's joints with his legs, his near-perfect combo overwhelming Diablo with no chance to retaliate.

Inside the Salome aliens' main control room, Helotia saw that Shant had Diablo under control and immediately ordered, "Now! Use the 'Dimensional Core' to banish them both forever."

At her command, the Imperial mechs ascended into the sky, a flash of purple light on their chests, and their breastplates descended, revealing objects resembling searchlights that were aimed at Shant and Diablo below.

Qi Ming noticed this: "As expected, the Salome aliens also installed a [Dimensional Core] on this thing. They're about to launch a [Dimensional Core Storm]."

In the original series, Ultraman Zero was knocked into a dimensional rift by this attack, and if Leo hadn't come to his rescue, he wouldn't even know how to get out of there.

Therefore, Qi Ming would naturally be wary of this deadly move.

Diablo also realized something was wrong: "You're really being underestimated for taking such a leisurely way to build up your energy in front of me."

After saying that, he was about to unleash the Mighty Bull-Breaking Fist to interrupt the Imperial mechs' energy emission.

At the same moment, Qi Ming also launched a sudden attack.

Flash appeared before Diablo in a blur, unleashing a barrage of punches like a torrential downpour. A series of rising dragon punches slammed into Diablo, sending him flying off the ground.

At this moment, Qi Ming emitted even more energy than before!

"How is that possible? Shouldn't he be running out of energy? Is this his final burst of power?"

The sudden, intense pain interrupted Diablo's charge, leaving him momentarily stunned and powerless.

The next moment, the Imperial mechs in the sky fired dark purple vortex-shaped beams of light, and a dimensional storm enveloped Diablo and Eternal Shining Triga.

The world was plunged into darkness, and the turbulent flow of time and space transformed into a hurricane that enveloped both of them.

"Goodbye and don't come back." Qi Ming took another deep breath and used [Shadow Shift] to become a blur and break through the blockade.

"What!" Diablo wanted to follow suit as Shant left, but he was too slow.

"Thump!" The sky shattered as if glass had broken, and Diablo's figure was swept into another dimension and disappeared.

So you're tough, huh? We'll just banish you using the mechanics.

By using the strength of one enemy to defeat another, this was Qi Ming's strategy.
