Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 541, Section 537: Camilla, Backstabbed Again

After the battle, everyone except Shan Zhong, who was reassigned to help clean up the battlefield, gathered together to discuss the matter.

After learning what had happened, Fujimiya remained silent for a long time.

Fujimiya: "Why is it that when you become Dark Tiga, you're always being chased down for emotional debts?"

I remember when "Carmilla from out of town" tried to entangle Dark Tiga, it was he who helped Qi Ming stop her.

Qi Ming's face darkened: "They're the ones who can't recognize right from wrong and don't listen to reason."

Carmilla looked at Dan Moroboshi, who looked like he was questioning the meaning of life: "So, Captain, you beat up that shrew before?"

Dan Moroboshi shook his head: "I have absolutely no recollection of it."

Tregear: "Is it possible that Camilla once saw an Ultraman who looked almost exactly like Seven, causing her to mistake him for someone else?"

For example, Seven 21, and the "Seven's boss" who appeared in "Ultraman Seven" are exactly the same as Seven.

Dan Moroboshi shook his head: "That's impossible. The Land of Light didn't exist 30 million years ago."

Even the King of Ultra seems to be only 300,000 years old.

At this moment, Torregia's expression changed slightly: "Oh no, the locator that was hit on Camilla earlier has malfunctioned."

Akane Shinjo: "It's the black mist from the 'Gatanothor,' which is sleeping near the ruins of R'lyeh. Its ions can paralyze machinery and block radio waves."

This hybrid universe is truly wondrous; the Dark Trio revived before Gatanothor.

Without the "remnants of the evil god" after Gatanothor's death, could Camilla still transform into Demozzar?

She was somewhat worried that Camilla would awaken Gatanothor.

Qi Ming: "She wouldn't dare. If Gatanothor wakes her up, he'll turn her back into a stone statue in no time."

Akane Shinjo: "Yeah..."

She suddenly asked, "By the way, do you think Camilla knows Gatanothor?"

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

The answer is no.

After Camilla and the other two were awakened by Dark Tregear, they could indeed sense an extremely terrifying being lurking near R'lyeh.

Dark Toregia had warned them not to aggressively absorb the remaining dark energy of R'lyeh, nor to make any noise that might awaken Him.

But after going out for a short while, Camilla, now all alone, no longer cared about any of that.

Not only did she lose again to the Giants of Light led by Seven, but what she found even more intolerable was that those humans, who were once like ants, now dared to ride roughshod over her.

A surge of resentment burned like poisonous fire in her heart, driving her to resolve to absorb the vast darkness accumulated in the ruins of R'lyeh since the ancient times, and to vent her rage with the most thorough destruction.

"Damn humans, damn Seven, and damn Tregear!"

"Seeing us, fellow Dark Giants, being surrounded and attacked without showing up, I will absolutely crush you, you bastard who stood by and watched, along with us!"

Carrying immense resentment, Camilla returned to R'lyeh, only to freeze in place.

What about the dark energy in R'lyeh?

The overwhelming darkness, built up by human desires and the civil war among giants, which should have been as deep as the ocean, was now incredibly thin.

At that moment, a recorded audio clip came from the tape recorder placed in the corner.

It was left behind by Dark Toregia.

“Miss Camilla, during the time you were away, I curiously studied the dark energy accumulated in the ruins, and the results were surprising.”

"These dark elements are extremely complex in nature; some stem from vile desires, some from the fear of destruction, and others from the resentment of dead giants."

"It seems that something very interesting happened here 30 million years ago."

"I will keep these fascinating dark energies safe for you."

Please keep it safe for me...

That sounds nice, but in reality, they just stole her dark energy, which she had been holding as her trump card, while she was away! Her home was raided!

Without R'lyeh's dark power, all her grand plans for revenge vanished in an instant.

"You bastard, you bastard, you bastard Toregia, I won't let you get away with this!"

She roared and conjured a whip of light, smashing the tape recorder to vent her anger. She was in a frenzy, almost losing her mind.

After a long while, Camilla, having vented all her anger, barely managed to suppress her boiling murderous intent.

She had to accept this cruel reality, silently absorbing the remaining, meager dark energy to strengthen herself as much as possible.

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

At this moment, Dark Toregia looked at the dense dark energy within the color timer on his chest and felt a surge of pleasure.

He did not choose to absorb all the dark energy at once, as that would easily cause uncontrollable mutations in his body.

He chose to use the Great Evil God sealed within the "Color Timer" as a "reservoir" to contain the darkness of the R'lyeh Ruins.

Then he slowly absorbed the filtered and purified dark energy from the Great Evil God to strengthen himself.

“So, this world is really interesting.” Torregia said with great pleasure.

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

"This world is so chaotic." Meanwhile, in a dark warehouse.

The Celestial King Mefras, now the size of a human, is recuperating here.

They've really fallen on hard times.

There was nothing he could do; he really had nowhere else to go.

If he returns empty-handed, he will likely be ruthlessly eliminated by the emperor.

"I didn't expect that all the kids these days are so deeply connected to monsters. Maybe we should try a different approach," he thought to himself.

"Huh, who's there?" Suddenly, a flashlight shone on him.

A security guard wearing a helmet spotted him while patrolling the warehouse.

The Mefras aliens didn't care; he was just a human.

But when he saw the security guard's face, Mefras paused, stopping his movements.

At the same time, the security guard also saw the ape-like Mefras aliens and was equally stunned.

After realizing what had happened, the security guard didn't panic and run away. Instead, he squinted and observed for a while before tentatively asking, "Are you... the Mefras I saw when I was a child?"

I saw it when I was a child...

This prompted the Alien Mefulas to scrutinize the security guard's face for a moment before asking, "Are you... the young Go-kun from back then?"

"It's me, it really is you, Mefras!" The security guard was very surprised after receiving the response.

Twenty years ago, as a child, he was invited into Mefulas's spaceship.

At that time, Mefras offered various tempting conditions, such as "I'll give you a planet bigger than Earth" and "I'll take you to my planet and grant you eternal life"—all if you said, "I'll give you Earth." ①
He refused to yield to the death, saying that Earth belonged to all humanity, and the Mefras aliens left after being rejected.

Mefras also never expected to encounter the first child he found on Earth back then here.

A reunion after more than 20 years – fate is truly wondrous.

Xiao Wu put down his lantern, sat cross-legged next to the Mefulas alien, and said with a reminiscing expression, "In the past few years, I often thought, 'If only Mefulas could come to me again, I should have agreed to it back then.'"

"Oh?" The Mefras alien's eyes flashed: "Little Go-kun, are you willing to hand over Earth to me now?"
