Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 544, Section 540: "Your Ultra Star" (A long chapter of 5,000 words)
Upon seeing the menacing Dais alien raise its gun, Gabishu inside the box screamed desperately.

This made Umeda Kaori realize something, and she suddenly turned around to face the Dais alien.

The Dais alien was stunned the moment he saw Umeda Kaori.

The moment he saw the girl, he thought of his daughter who had died because of Gabishu, and for a moment he couldn't bring himself to do it.

At the same time, the four people who had been summoned by Umeda Tsutomu witnessed the Dais alien pointing a gun at Umeda Kaori and were immediately shocked.

"Xiao Xiang!"

"stop!"

"Who are you? Put down the gun!"

The four immediately stepped forward and began fighting with the Dais aliens.

The physical abilities of the Dais aliens far surpass those of ordinary Earthlings, and in the original series, they easily defeated Asuka and Ryo.

In this world, he could easily knock Tian Rui and Xiao Wu to the ground.

But when faced with the combined attack of Zara and Lucia, two "extraterrestrial powerhouses," he was unable to withstand the onslaught, as he dared not fire his gun.

Finally, Zara delivered a powerful chop to the shoulder of the Dayis alien, whose body went limp and he slowly fainted.

Lucia: "That was close! What is he trying to do?"

Zara: "Should we kill him?"

Xiao Wu quickly said, "Wait, based on my experience dealing with aliens, this alien probably doesn't mean any harm."

The Mefulas alien observing from the shadows: "..."

My experience dealing with extraterrestrials—that's me, isn't it?

Xiao Wu continued his analysis: "If he really wanted to kill this girl, he could have just shot her, but he didn't."

"And he didn't fire a shot at us when we were fighting."

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that it made sense.

Xiao Wu: "Let's observe more before we figure out the truth. All life, whether human or alien, is precious."

"After all, Ultraman is also an alien."

“We’ve encountered ‘Kov’ and ‘Metz Alien’ before. Before showing clear malice to extraterrestrial visitors, let’s exercise more restraint.”

"Aren't the TPC people about to arrive? Let's have them come and take a look then."

Others agreed with him.

Next, while comforting the frightened Umeda Kaori, the group examined the Kabishu in the box in her hand.

Lucia: "Does this kind of animal exist on Earth?"

Although they are aliens, their knowledge is quite limited, far less than that of Hikari Torregia.

Tian Rui examined it for a while and shook his head: "No."

Xiao Wu: "Then it really is an extraterrestrial being... Let's take a picture and send it to TPC, they might know."

Tian Rui had the same idea.

But he soon discovered that, for some reason, the communication had been cut off.

It was probably because of the hot weather, and for some reason, he felt it getting hotter and hotter...

"Boom!"

The next moment, the earth trembled violently, the distant mountain completely cracked open, and scorching air surged out from it, revealing a tower-shaped object in everyone's sight.

Its identity is immediately apparent from the two seal script characters on its surface.

This is the same as the [Celestial Realm] that appeared before, which is also a natural control machine called [Flame Mountain]!
The heavens create typhoons that sweep across the earth's surface, and their role is to raise global temperatures, melt glaciers, and submerge the land.

"What a huge creature! Was it hiding in the mountains all along?"

"A monster? It caused the extreme heat?"

"Run!"

Even though the car wasn't fixed yet, there was no time to worry about that now.

The orphanage director and teachers quickly gathered the children together and led them away to a distance from Yanshan.

Some of the children who had just received their Ultraman toys were not happy: "Why should we be afraid of monsters? Ultraman will appear soon and defeat them, right?"

Xiao Wu said, "That's right, Ultraman will definitely appear to fight the monsters."

"But Ultraman has things to do, and we also have things we can do."

"Once we leave the battlefield, Ultraman won't have to worry about taking care of us during battles, and he can defeat the monsters more effectively. Nobody wants to cause trouble for the heroes, right?"

These words convinced the children, and they followed their teacher down the mountain.

Tian Rui glanced at Xiao Wu in surprise, not expecting this person to be so quick-witted.

Xiao Wu carried the unconscious Daisi alien on his back and called everyone to go down the mountain.

Kaori Umeda walked at the end of the line carrying the box, while Toru Umeda stared intently at Kabishu inside.

But when they were halfway down the mountain, they found that the road was blocked by trees that had fallen during the recent earthquake.

"It seems like this is the only way..."

"no solution anymore."

Xiao Wu first placed the Daisi alien on the ground, then went forward to clear away the branches, trying to make way for it.

Inspired by him, even ambitious children like Umeda Toru came to help, in addition to the teachers and director of the orphanage.

"Hey, are you alright? I don't think you're that heat-tolerant." Tian Rui looked at Xiao Wu, who was drenched in sweat, and suspected that he was having heat cramps.

Xiao Wu wiped the sweat from his face vigorously, his hands still moving: "It's okay, I believe in Ultraman, I won't fall down so easily."

Standing at the back of the line, Kaori Umeda tightly gripped the box containing Gabishu.

Suddenly, a flash of light—the box had malfunctioned and could no longer restrain Gabishu!

Gabishu emerged from inside, and it had grown larger—it had begun to recover!

"Huh!" Watching her friend grow up, Kaori Umeda was taken aback.

The next moment, Gabishu emitted blue light from his eyes, enveloping himself and Umeda Kaori, and teleported away with her.

Meanwhile, due to the rapidly rising temperature and the scorching hot road surface, the previously unconscious Dayis alien was awakened by the heat.

As soon as he stood up, Lucia and Zara looked at him warily, their bodies tense, ready to strike at any moment.

Xiao Wu, exhausted from moving the trees, was out of breath. He said:

"You're not a bad person, are you? Otherwise you would have just opened fire."

"The situation is urgent, there are monsters behind us. If you can, please lend us a hand!"

The Days alien tapped the device on his right hand, activated simultaneous interpretation, and spoke in the local language: "Okay, I'll help you."

He took out his laser gun and fired it, quickly clearing away the trees blocking his way.

Everyone was surprised. They hadn't expected that this alien would actually help. It seemed that Xiao Wu was right; he didn't seem to be an evil alien after all.

Xiao Wu: "Great! Let's escape together."

The Daisi alien said, "The cage holding Gabishu may malfunction at any time. The most urgent task now is to destroy it before that happens."

Tian Rui: "Gabishu... is that the monster from the box just now?"

The alien from Dayis picked out the most important points and said:

"Gabishu is a ferocious cosmic creature that has claimed countless lives on the planet Days."

"After sealing it, we intended to banish it into a black hole, but we didn't expect it to escape to Earth."

"Once they escape, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Umeda Dori realized the seriousness of the situation: "Gabishu is with my sister."

But when he looked at the back of the line, he was stunned.

Kaori Umeda, who was with Gabishu, has disappeared!

Are you lost?

Anxiety crept onto the face of the Dayis alien: "The cage may have malfunctioned. It was Gabishu who kidnapped the girl. Kidnapping is one of its usual tricks!"

The thought of his younger sister being threatened by a ferocious monster filled Umeda Dori with panic.

Tian Rui: "Do you have a way to find that monster?"

The alien from Dayis tapped the device in his hand: "I can pinpoint its location. I'll go rescue that girl!"

Xiao Wu: "I know the roads here well, I'll go with you."

Tian Rui: "I'm going too!"

Lucia and Zara originally wanted to go too, but Tian Rui said that too many people couldn't come, as they still had to take care of and protect the other children in the orphanage and escort them down the mountain.

Xiao Wu: "You guys go first, we'll catch up with you after we rescue Xiao Xiang."

Looking at the distant Yanshan Mountain, the orphanage director had no choice but to agree.

Umeda Dori also came over. Satoru understood his desire to protect his sister and agreed to let him follow, but told him to be careful not to get too close.

After running for five minutes in the sweltering heat, Xiao Wu's body began to sweat profusely, and his skin turned pale.

Seeing this, Tian Rui had a bad feeling. Could it be heat exhaustion?

"Hey, are you alright? Don't push yourself too hard." Tian Rui was in slightly better health than him, but she was also starting to feel the strain.

Xiao Wu stopped to catch his breath, his body limp but his gaze firm and resolute:
"It's alright... Don't forget, I'm a follower of the Ultraman Cult."

"When Ultra Warriors face powerful enemies, even if they are covered in wounds and the light on their chests turns red, they will not give up on the people they protect. I cannot stop easily either."

"Ultraman?" The Dais alien following behind was taken aback.

After learning about the "Ultraman" situation through the translator, he was pleasantly surprised: "You mean the members of the Space Garrison? Can you contact them?"

In the vast universe, the Space Garrison of the Land of Light is like a shining beacon to countless law-abiding interstellar civilizations.

They were not only symbols of order, but also figures of reverence and aspiration in the hearts of the inhabitants of weak planets. Even those ordinary team members whose names Qi Ming couldn't recall represented absolute power and justice in his eyes—and in the eyes of many other ordinary aliens like him.

He thought more than once that if a member of the Space Garrison had been present when Gabishu wreaked havoc, the tragedy would not have spread so far.

Unfortunately, the Land of Light was frozen at that time and could not shine its light into his homeland.

Xiao Wu: "I can't get in touch with them... but there's no need to. These heroes will definitely appear when we need them."

"Let's go, Xiaotong, your sister needs us now too."

Five minutes later, the four finally spotted their target.

I saw Kaori Umeda and the one-meter-tall Gabishu together.

The former stared blankly at Gabishu, whose body continued to expand, and said, "Are you trying to take me away from this dangerous place? But it's still so hot here."

The next moment, Gabishu continued to expand, reaching ten meters.

At this moment, it has become ugly, ferocious, and terrifying, and has nothing to do with the word "cute" anymore.

"Kouka!" Seeing his younger sister next to such a terrifying monster, Umeda Toru rushed forward.

Upon seeing this, Gabishu is about to unleash a capturing beam, just like in the original series, to capture the girl in its eyes and take her hostage.

At the critical moment, the Dayis alien quickly activated its laser gun and hit its head.

The interruption of his skill and the burning pain from the laser enraged Gabishu.

But this performance also made the Dais aliens feel a chill in their hearts—the laser gun could no longer kill Gabishu in his current state!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tian Rui grabbed the dumbfounded Mei Tianxiang and fled into the distance with the others.

At the same time, Gabishu's body expanded again, twenty meters, thirty meters, forty meters... seventy meters!

It has returned to its strongest state, and its appearance has become even uglier!

"Roar!" A yellow, lightning-like beam of light shot from the tip of its tail toward the four people!

"Bang!" The beam of light crashed down, instantly triggering a deafening explosion. Terrifying flames engulfed the surrounding trees.

"Kou, run! Only TPC's Phoenix Brother and his team can handle this kind of guy!" Umeda Dori shouted.

After regaining her senses, Kaori Umeda stopped in her tracks and shouted at Gabishu, "Stop! We're friends! Don't use violence! Anyone who uses violence is not my friend!"

Gabishu, with her extremely high IQ: "?"

What was my dinner talking about?

Gabishu continued his attack, unleashing dozens of red needle-like beams of light from his mouth, which rained down on Xiao Wu and his companions like a shower of flowers.

"Crack!" A needle-like beam of light struck the right leg of the Dais alien who was trying to pull Umeda Kaori away.

He groaned, his legs suddenly gave way, and he collapsed heavily to his knees, his face instantly contorted with pain.

Umeda Kaori, however, remained stubbornly convinced that the previously docile Gabishu was her friend, and continued to shout, unwilling to give up, trying to make it stop.

Umeda Toru came up to pull her away, but when he couldn't, he got angry and slapped her hard across the face.

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap rang out suddenly. Umeda Kaori staggered to one side.

A bright red finger mark immediately appeared on her cheek, and the burning pain made her freeze on the spot, unable to even cry out.

Umeda gripped her shoulders tightly, his voice trembling with anger and anxiety: "What nonsense are you talking about! Look at it—it's not a friend at all!"

Gabishu continued preparing to launch an attack in this direction, while at the same time, Yanshan underwent a change.

After its energy bar on its back was full, it grew hands and feet, transforming into a form resembling a stag beetle.

This is Yanshan's battle form!
..........................................

"Has Yanshan switched to battle mode? And Gabishu from 'Friends in the Box' has also appeared."

Qi Ming, who was riding on Hui Mei's Dyna Wings to the scene, saw the image on the screen and said.

Huimei: "Are these two monsters very strong?"

Qi Ming: "I'd say I'm a minor powerhouse."

In the original series, Yan Shan was able to slightly overpower Gaia V2, and Gabishu also made the enraged Dyna suffer a setback. Both of them should be at a similar B+ level.

When Qi Ming first arrived, this would have been somewhat troublesome, but on Earth today, it's nothing to worry about.

Qi Ming's current concern is that if Gabishu comes, will the kind-hearted Alien Dayis from the original series also come?

I remember in the original series, he sacrificed himself to protect a girl on Earth... I hope this tragedy won't be repeated in this world.

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

The Dais aliens are not dead yet.

Because Yanshan switched to battle form, Gabishu, who was originally going to kill them all, suddenly became alert.

It could sense that this machine was a threat to its existence.

Therefore, Gabishu immediately stopped his attack and cautiously faced Yanshan to observe its movements.

Taking advantage of this brief respite, Xiao Wu once again carried the Daisi alien, whose right leg was injured and unable to walk, on his back. He then pulled along Umeda Tōru and, together with Umeda Kaori, Tian Rui, and with all their might, fled outwards.

Tian Rui, who was holding onto Umeda Kaori, shouted, "Split up and run!"

A dozen seconds later, seeing that Yan Shan was just walking towards the distant city and had no intention of provoking her, Gabishu charged towards the Dais alien who had just injured her.

Braving the scorching heat and carrying the Daisi alien on his back, Xiao Wu felt incredibly heavy with every step.

He was breathing rapidly, staggering, and his face was flushed red, as if he might collapse from exhaustion at any moment.

The alien on his back sensed that he was nearing his limit and said, "Put me down, just take the children and let them live on strongly."

"No, every life is equally precious," Xiao Wu insisted through gritted teeth.

The Dayis aliens were puzzled: "Why? I'm clearly not one of your people, so why are you going to such lengths for me?"

Xiao Wu: "Because...because if Ultraman were here, he would definitely do the same."

Umeda Dori, who was being dragged along, exclaimed, "Huh?"

Xiao Wu: "Before, I felt that the world was not a good place and life was meaningless, but the appearance of Ultraman gave me hope."

"The circus ringmaster said that Ultraman's greatness lies not only in their superhuman strength, but also in their spirit."

"They are clearly aliens, yet they fight for the weak on Earth without asking for anything in return."

"Since I am a follower of the Ultraman Cult, I must start with myself and practice this spirit."

"I believe that more and more people will have this spirit... and the world will definitely get better and better!"

In the end, Xiao Wu roared out as if giving his last words.

The next moment, Gabishu spat out red needle-like beams of light again, intending to kill the three of them.

In the very end, both Daiss and Satoru did the same thing—they shielded Umeda with their own bodies.

"boom."

Five seconds passed.

The expected death did not occur.

Xiao Wu sensed something, raised his head again, and squinted at what was in front of him.

A massive black body appeared in front, blocking the deadly red needle-like beam of light.

They are from the planet Mefulas.

"To be able to persist to this extent, you truly deserve to be called the Little Satoru who made me return empty-handed back then. You are truly remarkable," Mefulas said.

“Mefulas…” Xiao Wu stared blankly at the familiar figure.

"Roar!" Gabishu roared a warning as he looked at Mefulas blocking his way.

In response, Mefras unleashed a blue beam of light that struck Gabishu, sending him flying backward with a whimper.

The people of Dayis stared wide-eyed as they watched Gabishu, who had once caused havoc on the planet Dayis, being easily blasted to the ground by the very Gabishu who had just been suffocating them.

So strong...

After sending Gabish away, Mefulas lowered his head and met Go's gaze.

"Little Wu-kun, after seeing what just happened, I now believe that you can indeed reach your own Ultra Star."

"Because you uphold the same beliefs as Ultraman, you are just as remarkable as Ultraman."

Xiao Wu looked up and met the gaze of the Mefulas alien; time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Just then, the sound of wind breaking came from afar.

Dyna's Wings and Ultraman Seven flew over.

"The real hero has arrived, so there's nothing more for me here."

"Goodbye, Satoru."

Mefulas gazed intently at the grown-up Satoru.

Twenty years ago, he caused his own downfall on Earth. Twenty years later, through him, he rediscovered a new Earth and once again calmly accepted defeat.

Ultraman came to Earth to fight, bringing not only immense power, but also a noble spirit.

This spirit will continue to inspire humanity, allowing humans and Ultraman to truly stand together.

Perhaps nothing can sever the bond between humanity and Ultraman... so his plan to conquer hearts and minds seems impossible.

After Xiaowu replied with "Goodbye," the Mefulas alien nodded, activated his teleportation ability, and left.

He neither stayed on Earth to look for another opportunity, nor did he go back to find the Alien Empera.

He left, departing from the forefront of this fierce clash between light and darkness, like a star that had strayed from its orbit, sinking into the silent night of the universe.
