Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 517 Homecoming Chapter 513. Qi Ming, who stirs up global turmoil, District 13

"Did you notice this optical feature? Hilbargon appeared enveloped in this 'card-shaped ray of light'."

"And the defeated great monster [Bischomer] was also eventually collected by this card-shaped light."

"I've seen this in 'Ultra Galaxy Legends,' it's a phenomenon that only occurs when Reionics summons and captures monsters..."

"Haha, you haven't watched enough. Actually, 'Mega Monster Battle' is the original."

At the UK's Special Threat Assessment and Control Authority, Director Victor immediately convened a meeting with his team to carefully analyze the footage captured by various cameras.

He had already sought approval from his superiors as quickly as possible, but he was still a step too late when the "second monster" descended upon London, England.

Fortunately, it did not cause too much damage, thanks to the silver dragon Hilbargon that stood in its way.

They reviewed the video footage and discovered this detail.

That is to say...

In reality, it's a "Reonics" summoning a silver dragon to fight the great monster [Bischomer]!
"If [The One] is the first descent object, and the great monster [Bischomer] is the second, then he is the third."

"A mysterious being capable of controlling powerful monsters, a strategic entity capable of challenging 'The One'!"

"Furthermore, according to the information, the Reonics are intelligent beings, so there is a possibility of dialogue between us."

"We must use every means to find this Reonics, otherwise [The One] will no longer be invincible."

"Those four female students who collapsed next to the magic circle likely had contact with that Reonics, but unfortunately they've become idiots and can't be questioned, and there's no other evidence at the scene..."

Besides the UK, other major countries also used their own methods to obtain the relevant information as quickly as possible, and experts began working overtime to analyze the silver dragon's behavior that night.

"We might be overthinking things. That Reonics might just be trying to capture the Great Monster [Bischomell]."

"But didn't Hilbargon go to help with firefighting and disaster relief later? This kind of intervention that is in line with human interests shows that the Reonicus has goodwill towards humanity."

"I think it's very worthwhile to work on this. If we can get this mysterious Reonics to help us, we'll definitely be able to win re-election next time."

“That’s right. If we can establish a stable connection with it, it might not only help us solve [The One], but also other problems…”

Monsters from movies and TV shows are descending into reality, impacting the existing order with their unstoppable power. Think tanks around the world believe that their impact on the global landscape is no less significant than that of World War II.

This is both a challenge and an opportunity.

Whoever can ride this wave will stand at the forefront...

Strangely, the United States doesn't seem to care much about this matter; it seems to be busy with other things.

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

Overnight, footage of the Silver Dragon defeating the great monster [Bishomer] spread across the globe via the internet.

Unlike the think tanks of major powers who wanted to thoroughly analyze all the clues and videos, ordinary people who didn't understand the situation as much felt that the silver dragon was their only hope.

Previously, people had no choice but to either lie down and give up hope, waiting to die, or join those sects that worshipped "The One" to find peace of mind.

Now, many members of The One cult are leaving, saying they want to be good people again.

【The One】 is no longer a unique and invincible entity; people firmly believe that the Silver Dragon is capable of defeating it!
It will definitely destroy "The One" and save the world, just like Godzilla destroyed the MUTO in "Godzilla"!
The One Cult was hit hard.

After all, if one has to find a monster that is so powerful that it defies common sense to worship, why not choose the Silver Dragon, which would help humanity, instead of The One, which only brings destruction and death?

As a result, various "Silbagon cults" were quickly established in various countries under the call, with the slogan "We should help each other as the silver dragons help humans," and then began to try their best to elevate the status of the silver dragons.

"Silver Dragon wasn't really a bad monster. I just watched the episode of Ultraman Tiga carefully. The silver dragon just built a home for itself. Those who accidentally wandered into its home were all skeletons who starved to death and weren't killed by the silver dragon."

"That's right, it also attacked the Gadi that actually attacked humans, smashing the transparent barrier that separated the family."

"Tiga actually killed such a pure and cute monster in the original series. How could Tiga be so evil?"

“In reality, at least Hilbargon would respond to us and help us with disaster relief. That [The One] only causes destruction. I don’t know what kind of idiot would worship that thing. He should be arrested and shot.”

This kind of mocking behavior of belittling one and praising another made the beneficiaries of [The One Cult] restless.

The bishops and priests who made money by selling "monster amulets" and "doomsday indulgences" began to emphasize that only The One was the true God and that the silver dragon was a heretic.

Some believers who have become too deeply involved, spending too much time and money, and even self-harming, are unable to turn back and stubbornly defend themselves.

"You've really lost all shame! The Silvergon you all idolize simply can't see stationary objects, but in the original story, it still attacked moving vehicles!"

"Your judgment is as blind as your idol, Silvergon, to recognize such a trash monster. [The One], as the first monster to arrive, must be the most special!"

"That's right, when [The One] takes down your Silvergon, I hope you'll still be laughing!"

As they argued, they started comparing their fighting strength.

“Silvergun will definitely defeat [The One]! I asked my friend, and The One is comparable to Nexus, while Nexus, after evolving twice, can be compared to Composite Tiga.”

"Composite Tiga can't defeat Silver Dragon, so Silver Dragon is far stronger than [The One]!"

"That's right, if we really run into each other, Hilbargon will slap [The One] to death!"

This naturally drew fierce criticism:

"The One in our world is much more powerful than the one in the original series. If we give The One a little more time to evolve, he could easily slap Silvergon to death!"

"Moreover, The One can fly, while your Silvergon cannot, and it's also a cripple who can't see still objects!"

"Have you seen Ultraman Galaxy Fight 3? The young Nexus there could fight both the ultimate life form, Golden Sword, and Ribut at the same time. The degenerated Nexus must be just as good. The One, who can go toe-to-toe with Nexus, can't be weak!"

A new round of "religious wars" has begun, which is quite surreal.

First, they started with a war of words online, and then it escalated to an offline showdown, so intense that even the Protestant bishops in London were dumbfounded.

"You bastards who believe in 'The One' are all traitors! For the sake of world peace, you must all be wiped out!"

"Just wait, Lord The One is evolving rapidly. When it becomes powerful enough to devour Silvergon, you'll all be doomed!"

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

While MI5 and agents from various countries were desperately searching for the "mysterious Reonics" in London, Qi Ming and Dao Long had already left Britain in a helicopter picked up by District 13.

He looked at the online attacks between The One and Silver Dragon supporters and didn't know what to say for a moment.

If the silver dragon has become a true god, then what is he, the master of the silver dragon?
God-King? This title feels a bit off...

However, The One and its die-hard followers did indeed have a way of bringing about their own demise.

"So, you really controlled that monster?" the helicopter pilot asked.

"Yes... I didn't expect it to be you who came to pick me up. Are you also from District 13?" Qi Ming asked.

The helicopter pilot had red hair and a muscular build. Qi Ming had met him two years ago. He called himself Black Tiger Afu, a peculiar person who would yell and announce his moves during fights. Two years ago, Qi Ming really couldn't beat him.

Afu glanced at Daolong beside Qi Ming: "Yeah, I used to be a thug, working for the Black Hand Gang, and I was under Daolong's command, but we always failed."

"Later, I figured it out in prison and realized I needed to find a proper job so I could use my skills for something worthwhile, so I joined District 13."

"I apologize again for taking action against you two years ago when I was investigating the anomaly. At that time, I saw you with Daolong and thought that he was the one who caused the anomaly. You were his accomplice, just like I was before."

Qi Ming: "It's okay. Actually, I hardly remember what happened two years ago... It's strange, I've always had a very good memory."

Ah Fu: "You're becoming more and more capable, don't worry. We in District 13 will keep this strictly confidential for you, not even the President of the United States will know about this... but we can let you know about the President of the United States."

At that moment, Qi Ming received another call from his father.

Old Qi: "What a mess Britain is in! Two monsters! A lightning strike wiped out half a street! It's too dangerous! You better come back right now!"

He just attended a provincial police system conference, learned about what happened last night, and was also instructed to "closely monitor any unusual activity."

The authorities in China took into account the possibility that the mysterious Reonics had come from elsewhere, and instructed them not to overlook any suspicious traces.

But Lao Qi felt it was impossible for it to be such a coincidence; it was just a routine notification from above, and he didn't take it to heart.

After the meeting, he found Teacher Gao, who was in charge of the meeting, and asked Teacher Gao to persuade Qi Ming, who respected him greatly, to settle down after returning and stop running around all the time, as it was safer in China.

Then, he made this call to Qi Ming.

Qi Ming: "I'm no longer in London; I'm in America now."

Old Qi was stunned: "America? What are you going to America for?"

Qi Ming: "Save the world. Don't worry, I'll be back soon after I've dealt with things here."

Old Qi: "You...you're serious? You're not really out of your mind, are you...hey, hey, hey!"

Qi Ming had already hung up the phone.

Soon, the plane landed, and Afu led Qiming and Daolong to a small alley.

Dao Long looked at the phone booth in front of him: "So many years have passed, and nothing has changed. Has the security here been strengthened?"

Afu: "We are impregnable."

He opened the phone booth and led Qi Ming and Dao Long inside. Immediately, a secret passage appeared, taking the three of them underground.

The underground space was enormous, with many people in uniforms bustling about, giving it the feel of a secret base.

Is this the real-life "S.H.I.E.L.D."? I wonder if there's an organization like the Avengers here.

At that moment, a tall, slender young woman dressed in black walked over with a dignified and friendly smile.

Ah Fu introduced, "This is the sheriff of District 13, our boss."

Sheriff, you mean the person in charge, right?

The young woman smiled and said, "Don't be so formal, just call me Xiaoyu."

She spoke Chinese, very clearly and fluently.

After this conversation, Qi Ming discovered that she was also from China, which made him feel closer to her. He was also surprised that a young Chinese woman had become the head of a secret American agency.

She is no ordinary person; she must be exceptionally capable, otherwise she could not have risen to a position that commands respect—this is what Qi Ming deduced.

Dao Long stared at the young woman with his cloudy old eyes: "Xiao Yu? You're that crazy girl from back then? You've grown so much."

Qi Ming: "What, is your relationship like 'I held you when you were little'?"

Dao Long chuckled: "It's a relationship where we both want to kill each other."

Sheriff Xiaoyu didn't mind and chuckled softly, seemingly reminiscing about the past.

Qi Ming: “?”

What's wrong with these people? They're even more insane than the team members in the mountains.

"Oh dear, isn't this the Black Qi Wizard? What's Daolong doing here!" At this moment, an old man with gray hair walked over and shouted at Daolong.

Sheriff Xiaoyu explained, "He's my father, my elder... Why don't we talk in private?"

Dao Long turned around and said defiantly, "Hey, you old bastard, you're still not dead? Quickly call your nephew out, I'll have Qi Ming beat him down in a minute... Hey, where's Qi Ming?"

He turned around and found that Qi Ming and Chief Inspector Xiao Yu were gone.

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

Xiaoyu's office.

"So, you can really become Ultraman?" Chief Xiaoyu seemed very eager and excited, completely lacking her previous composure.

Is this the true expression of one's true feelings?
Qi Ming nodded: "That's right, what's the current situation with The One?"

Sheriff Xiaoyu: "We are still doing our best to track it down. This is the combat data we have collected."

After speaking, Xiaoyu showed Qiming a lot of detailed information. Qiming stared at the video of [The One] appearing in India and fighting against their army several times.

"It's quite tricky, better than the original series, barely reaching B-level, but that's about it," Qi Ming said after watching it.

Sheriff Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief: "You're confident you can handle it? That's great. Without you... we were all planning to use demons to fight demons."

Qi Ming: "However, The One's evolution speed is a bit fast. It will probably be stronger next time it appears. We need to find it as soon as possible."

Xiaoyu said that her technical department had hacked into all the cameras in the world, and would inform Qiming immediately if they found any trace of "The One".

"Furthermore, [The One] isn't the only threat; the trouble it brings won't be small either." Xiaoyu hesitated before continuing.

Qi Ming: "What's wrong?"

After hesitating for a long time, Xiaoyu decided that Qiming could be trusted and revealed some top-secret information.

"According to our information, a guy called the [Mefras Alien] has approached the president."

"It claims to possess a technology that can increase a human's size to fifty meters. It says that with that technology, humanity can fight against 'The One'..."
