Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 518 Homecoming Chapter 514. Mefras: Being Targeted by Terrifying Humans

Qi Ming's world has neither "SSSS.Gridman" nor "New Ultraman".

Therefore, he was unable to "read the script" for the first time and did not understand why the aliens would give him a device called the "Beta Box" that could make humans grow to gigantic size.

But the name Mefrass made him wary, and he thought this inherently evil fellow had some bad intentions.

Qi Ming: "What benefits does this Mefras have in doing, such as expecting something in return?"

Sheriff Xiaoyu: "He said it was free, but I have a feeling that it might be implying that we humans cannot afford the price."

Qi Ming agreed: "Alright, while we're searching for [The One], I'll go and meet it."

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

Meanwhile, inside the Cheyenne Mountain nuclear bunker in Colorado, high-ranking U.S. officials held a secret meeting with Mevlas.

Judging from the fact that this negotiation location is protected from nuclear and wiretapping, the secrecy level of Mefras is very high—so high that the US president has not yet posted a tweet to boast about it.

Inside the conference room, a refined and approachable-looking "man" sat opposite the US president, the secretary of state, the director of national intelligence, and other high-ranking officials.

He is the human mimic of Mefras.

Mefras said to the president, "Mr. President, I want to bring good news to you humans and create a peaceful world in the multiverse, so I came to this planet."

"I provided you with the 'Beta Box' in order to give humanity the ability to defeat [The One] personally."

"The reason we initially chose the United States of America as the pilot country is because you are the beacon of current civilization and the creators and maintainers of the existing order on this planet."

"Being indecisive and rambling is a phrase I dislike."

"I'm quite disappointed that you haven't taken any action yet. Perhaps I should find a different partner."

Upon hearing this, the US president was immediately alarmed, declaring that such groundbreaking technology must be fully absorbed by the United States first.

The Secretary of State remained calm: "I'm sorry, but this is an unprecedented technical collaboration, and our four special forces members are only now getting used to it."

"But The One's target has been temporarily lost, and we have no opportunity to deploy until it is found."

Mefras clapped his hands: "Have you adapted? Very good. Please make this public first, do a good job of publicity, and let people see that we are ready."

"This way, people will no longer have to place their fate on Hilbagon, who happens to appear in London, and it will also make it easier for me to spread the gospel in other countries in the future."

Is it public...?

The top officials in the United States looked at each other in bewilderment, but they had no choice but to agree.

After the meeting, Mefulas walked down the corridor in a good mood.

He arrived on this planet, which is "rich in biological resources," a month ago.

But while investigating the planet, he saw the tokusatsu film "Ultraman" and was immediately amazed.

Why is there an enemy character called the Mefras alien in a movie from decades ago?

Moreover, it is a despicable gentleman... exactly like himself in both name and personality.

What a coincidence.

In this situation, acting ostentatiously and revealing one's identity would likely provoke resistance from people.

So while preparing to stimulate the monster sleeping underground, he also caused a mycelium to undergo abnormal evolution, hoping to make humans feel powerless to solve problems with violence.

Before these two things had even begun, "The One" appeared, running rampant and striking fear into the hearts of humankind.

This is truly a stroke of luck!

Next, he secretly contacted the U.S. authorities.

According to his research, the Earth appears to be a single entity, but in reality, it is fragmented by a series of invisible national borders.

Even under the same national flag, different political factions are constantly tearing each other apart.

In order to consolidate their hegemony, for the benefit of their party, and to gain the ability to protect themselves in the face of the terrifying "The One"...

Mevlas believed that even if American officials suspected there was a trap involved, they would still jump in anyway, thinking they were playing a game against him. And indeed, he succeeded.

The other party accepted his conditions, and he has prepared four Beta Boxes for them so far.

However, the appearance of the silver dragon Hilbargon made him feel a bit of pressure, and he didn't like this variable.

"Do Reonics, capable of controlling monsters, really exist...?" Mefras suddenly stopped.

He could feel a terrifying gaze coming from behind him, like a cold blade pressed against his spine.

Mefulas slowly turned around and saw Qi Ming, who was mostly in shadow.

His instincts told him that this guy was extremely dangerous and he shouldn't easily make an enemy of him.

"You are……"

"I am Qi Ming, a helpful human being." Qi Ming stepped out of the shadows: "You had better give me an explanation that I can accept."

Even though he sensed that Qi Ming's visit was ill-intentioned, Mefrass still smiled and said, "Then let's talk somewhere else."

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

Inside a private room of a Chinese restaurant.

Qi Ming, who was using the "Insight" ability, saw the true form of Mefulas.

He looks quite different from Mefras from Ultraman.

“It’s really strange. What are the American authorities thinking? They know your name is Mefrass and they still trust you.” Qi Ming took a sip of water. “Of course, you’re also very stubborn. You know Mefrass has a bad reputation, but you still don’t change your name.”

Mefras smiled and said, "Upright and honest, that's a phrase I really like. I act with integrity, so of course I don't need to hide anything."

Qi Ming: "So what are you up to?"

Mefras: "Don't overcomplicate things. If we let guys like [The One] continue to evolve, no one can stay out of it."

"Hasn't something similar happened on this planet? Britain exported Industrial Revolution technology to the United States, and the United States helped Japan rebuild after the war. I want to gain your goodwill."

Qi Ming: "If you really want to help humanity fight against [The One], you should provide assistance with technology that can erase matter at the molecular level."

Mefras: "Things have to be done one step at a time. Everything I'm doing right now is helping humanity, giving them the ability to face terrifying monsters."

"I fully understand the greatness of this planet, and I love humanity. I am willing to help them and protect them."

Qi Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.

Do you love humanity and want to protect it...?

Could this Mefrass be as kind-hearted as the Ultra Warriors of the Land of Light? Would he help protect Earth after I return to the Mixed Universe?

Something's not right... something just doesn't feel right.

Qi Ming remained silent for a while, just about to say something, when he suddenly received a message on his phone.

"I am the monster merchant Charlieja. Just a friendly reminder, you're in big trouble."

"If you can give me a monster that satisfies me, I can also give you the information you want—let's meet in front of the Tsuburaya Productions building."

Qi Ming stood up with a look of surprise in his eyes. He gave Mefulas a deep look and left.

Mefulas waved: "I hope we can cooperate happily in the future and protect the earth together. This order is on me, boss, check please."

He breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally gotten rid of the guy.
