Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 542, Section 538: Dr. Gehrman's Gift
"I was very confused when I entered society."

“My colleagues and I have to work hard to make a living, while some people do nothing and still live much better than us.”

"When I left work, I walked through the bustling streets of Shinjuku, where there were countless dazzling lights, but not a single one was lit for me."

"At that time, I felt that perhaps the earth did not belong to all mankind, but to the top few people, and we ordinary citizens were just their appendages."

"Then I started to regret it, thinking, 'If I could go back in time, I would definitely agree to Mefras.'"

Looking into Xiao Wu's slightly tired eyes, Mefulas seemed to see his life trajectory from innocence to clarity.

It wasn't a child suddenly growing up, but a cruel transformation where reality gradually wears away their brilliance.

She once refused her child's advances despite being threatened and tempted, and stood up straight to reject him. But as she grew up, she finally saw the true nature of the world.

Life gradually bent his back and rewrote his answer bit by bit.

Mefulas slowly spoke: "What I said twenty years ago still holds true today. As long as you are willing to say 'I'll give you the Earth,' I'm willing to take you to my planet and give you eternal life."

Xiao Wu chuckled and said, "What I was just saying was a rant. Mefras, you're a little late. Now I have a new idea—I'm going to the Land of Light in the future!"

Mefras: "The Planet of Ultra?"

Xiao Wu then went on to talk about his personal journey.

"I was very depressed a few years ago. I was so tired after get off work that I felt that playing games and reading comics were no longer interesting."

"I used to envy those rich people who could do whatever they wanted. I felt it was so unfair that while they were living a life of luxury, I could only see the life I was used to."

"The more I think about how you once put opportunities in front of me, but I didn't cherish them, the more I hate my past self."

"Filled with immense regret, I stood in front of an oncoming truck on the road..."

“At that time, a circus uncle rescued me. He was the ringmaster. Under his guidance, I became a believer.”

Mefras: "Religion, Christianity or Buddhism?"

Xiao Wu: "Ultraman teaches."

Mefras: "?"

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "After converting to religion, I have been very happy and fulfilled."

"My fellow believers also took good care of me, allowing me to help those who also genuinely admire Ultraman."

"The circus ringmaster told us that as long as we follow the rules and emulate Ultraman, Ultraman will one day take us to the Land of Light."

Mefrass was at a loss for words.

Isn't this just a repackaged version of "Believe in God, and you'll go to heaven after you die"?

Go to the Land of Light? With the power of the Plasma Spark Tower, you'd all be reduced to ashes the moment you arrived in the Land of Light.

However, as a "miracle walking in the world," it is quite normal for a sect to venerate Ultraman to appear.

But this sect sounds unreliable.

Mefras: "So, what are your religious rules? Do you have to pay a lot of money every month?"

Xiao Wu: "Of course not!"

Mefras thought to himself, if this isn't about money, then things are probably even more complicated.

Just now, Xiao Wu said "follow Ultraman's example." So, the pope of this "Ultraman Cult" wouldn't want to eliminate anyone, so he would incite his followers to say, "This person is evil, and everyone should follow Ultraman's example to destroy him."

Xiao Wu continued, "Our teachings are very simple: all those who truly believe in Ultraman should unite and help each other, do good deeds in their daily lives, and help others."

Mefras was stunned: "That's it?"

Xiao Wu: "That's right." He patted Mefulas on the shoulder and said sincerely, "There are many Ultramen here, and many people who believe in Ultramen. You definitely can't invade this Earth. You should give up."

After catching up, Xiao Wu left looking refreshed.

Mephras stood there, lost in thought.

He secretly followed them, wanting to see what this "Ultraman Cult" was all about.

If this sect, which uses the banner of Ultraman, appears righteous on the surface but is actually filthy and corrupt... then it can find a way to shake humanity's beliefs and break the bond between humanity and Ultraman.

"Linked Mode, Dyna Submarine!"

TPC Maritime Base.

With a loud shout, Kishida's "toy submarine" instantly transformed into a massive submarine forty meters in length.

With Fujimiya's help, the Dyna Submarine, which followed the Dyna Wing, was developed, and after unanimous discussion, it was decided that Kishida would be the crew member to operate this large submarine.

All that's missing is [Dyna War Dragon] and [Dyna Strike Car] to combine into the super robot [Dyna Zeon], whose combat power is almost identical to [Black Gold Bridge].

"It feels more powerful than the Dolphin." Kishida was very surprised in the cockpit of the Dyna Submarine.

Saijo Nagi: "Team Member Kishida, you will now be heading to the South Pacific Ocean to search for the ruins 'Ryule'."

Although the locator was destroyed by the black fog, it still provided a general range.

Searching within that area, finding R'lyeh is just around the corner.

Kishida: "No problem, leave it to me!"

The Dyna submersible descended again and set off towards its destination.

Shinjo Akane nudged Qi Ming, saying, "Alright, Dr. Gehrman should be here soon."

Qi Ming was taken aback: "Dr. Gehrman from 'Ax' is coming?"

Akane Shinjo: "Yes, he's also a member of the development team for Any Key. I'd like to ask him to research how to activate the Ultraman consciousness gathered by the stars."

She said that theoretically speaking, the Dark Tiga that Qi Ming summoned to help him in the battle using the Ultimate Battle Device should have been controlled by Daigo's consciousness, which was copied during the Star Gathering.

But for some reason, the Ultraman consciousness gathered by Xingju was not activated, which caused the "Ultraman Chat Group" to not open, and Qiming had to multitask to summon it.

This won't do; this matter must be resolved.

If this problem can be solved, Qi Ming might be able to easily summon multiple Ultramen to assist him in the future, just like "Zi-O Grand Zi-O," instead of risking a split personality by multitasking.

"Whoosh!" Five minutes later, a burst of light appeared, and a brown alien with a huge head appeared—and then collapsed to the ground.

The Vanton alien is Dr. Gehrman!
Akane Shinjo greeted him, "Dr. Gehrman, it's been a long time. Have you come across any delicious food lately?"

Dr. Gehrman rubbed his backside: "Shy, long time no see. I passed through many planets while chasing that wish-granting machine, and I tried all the local foods."

Yes, as expected of Dr. Gehrman.

Qi Ming greeted him: "Hello, Dr. Gehrman."

"Hello, hello! You must be Qi Ming, the player who always manages to turn the tide and makes full use of any key! I'm so glad to finally meet you!"

"Here, I have a gift for you. You should be able to use this."

After he finished speaking, he took out an object.

That's... Ultraman's transformation device, the Beta Wand!
