Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 549, Section 545: "As long as humanity works hard, defeating monsters won't be a problem."

Half a minute later.

"Bang—bang—bang."

A minute later, under the watchful eyes of the children, Leo, just like Taro in the original series, was kicked around on the ground by the modified Bemstar.

Without targeting weaknesses in a direct confrontation, the gap in strength between the two sides is indeed vast.

"Bang!" After being hit by an eye beam, Leo could no longer hold on and disintegrated in a burst of light, turning back into Phoenix.

"Ultraman Leo has been defeated. Well done, Bemstar! You've thoroughly humiliated both humans and Ultraman. Let's call it a day."

Just as Carmilla was about to transform and help in the battle, Yapool reached out and took Bemstar back to another dimension.

Seeing Leo disappear after being beaten, Umino-sensei's students looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion and frustration.

"What should we do? Leo has been defeated."

"It's okay, there are other, even stronger Ultramen. That monster will definitely be defeated next time!"

Teacher Umino: "Don't always rely on Ultraman, we humans also need to work hard!"

One child couldn't help but retort, "We humans? Even Ultraman lost, what can we humans do?"

Teacher Umino's expression was solemn: "Listen, if you want to accomplish something, you have to work your hardest. No matter who you are, as long as you work hard, taking down one or two monsters is not a problem."

A bespectacled child, unconvinced, pressed on, "Then, Mr. Umino, can you defeat the monster?"

Mr. Umino was silent for a moment, then nodded firmly: "I can!"

"How is that possible? Doesn't that mean that Professor Umino is stronger than Ultraman?"

Umino didn't answer directly, but instead began training intensely.

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

After confirming that Feng Yuan had been rescued and was in stable condition at the infirmary, Qi Ming returned to the Victory Team's command room.

While waiting for everyone to arrive, he casually opened the [Qi Ming Fan Club] app—an app similar to Xu Song's fan club [Vae+], whose users were mostly admirers of Qi Ming.

He found this on Facebook when he was browsing the [Qiming] community, and then downloaded it.

However, he did not reveal his identity or register; he simply browsed the posts as a guest.

The identity of the group leader who created this app remains a mystery, but judging from his insistence on not accepting advertisements, he seems to be doing it "out of love".

The deputy leader knew many of the people he knew, one of whom was Professor Umino.

"Huh, Professor Umino posted something... He's going to challenge the modified Bemstar to a duel?"

Qi Ming clicked on the post and saw that Professor Haiye had said:
As a teacher, I believe that education should not be limited to book knowledge, but should also cultivate students' courage and beliefs through practical actions.

He wanted to set an example and prove to the students that human potential is limitless, and that even without Ultraman, humans can fight crises with their own strength and wisdom.

There were many comments below, but most people thought it was just a joke.

After all, even for Qi Ming, his most impressive publicly known achievement was fighting against a five-meter-tall alien beast.

No one believed that Professor Umino would dare to take on the challenge of modifying the 80-meter-high Bemstein.

But some people seem to think he's serious, like the mysterious leader.

This account has a blank ID followed by the title of "Guild Leader." He earnestly asked if they could communicate with TPC.

The comments immediately went astray.

"Yes, that might give us a chance to get in touch with Lord Qi Ming!"

"That's a good idea. I'll try it next time."

Upon seeing this, Qi Ming suddenly had a new idea.

This hybrid world is complex and full of variables, so it's necessary for me to go and keep an eye on things on-site.

Once everyone had arrived, he got straight to the point:

"The modified Bemstar is very powerful. Its skin has become much tougher after the modification. Even if you use 'Spark Flash', it will be difficult to tear it apart."

"But it still has weaknesses; its eyes have not been reinforced and are still quite vulnerable."

"At the same time, its Bemstein instincts remain, and it will use the mouth on its abdomen to devour that energy."

"We can use this to deliver concentrated bombs into its body and then detonate them."

In the original Taro series, this is how Bemstar, the alter ego, died.

Qi Ming continued, "The next time it appears, I will personally go into battle and directly confront the modified Bemstar."

Upon hearing this, Huimei Gakula and the others all looked at the mountain team members standing to the side.

The mountain team members are still here, shouldn't they at least try to conceal their identities?

The team members in the mountains were puzzled by his gaze, and also curious about Qi Ming's choice of words: "Personally taking part?"

Qi Ming: "Yes, I will go with a concerned citizen to directly confront the modified Bemstein, and let the citizens witness the courage and strength of us humans."

Member Emi: "The kind citizen... could it be that Mr. Unno?"

Qi Ming: "Correct answer."

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

The next day, the modified Bemstein reappeared in the industrial area and began devouring the oil storage tanks!

The panicked crowd fled outwards, but the young teacher, Umino, went against the tide and resolutely headed towards reforming Bemstein.

He was clutching a bundle of rope tightly in his hand, and his body was covered in wounds.

Those were the marks left by yesterday's almost desperate training, but at this moment, he couldn't care less about the pain.

Feeling the terrifying pressure from the transformation of Bemstein's enormous body, he was filled with mixed emotions: tension and fear, but it all turned into a deep breath.

He started running towards the monster.

On the way, he ran into the students who had questioned him the day before; the two children lived nearby.

Teacher Umino: "You all hurry to a safe place, I'm going to kill that monster!"

"Mr. Umino, are you really going to fight that monster?" The two children were frightened by Umino's appearance: "We were just joking, please don't take it seriously."

Mr. Umino patted their heads: "Remember, even if I'm gone, you must study hard."

After saying that, he resolutely rushed towards the transformation of Bemstein.

"How about I join?" Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out beside him.

Haiye was stunned and turned his head in disbelief—the person standing next to him was none other than Qi Ming, a member of the Victory Team!
"I saw your post from yesterday. Knowing you were coming, I thought I'd drop by and meet up, maybe do something."

Even though the modified Bemstein was wreaking havoc nearby, causing the earth to tremble, Qi Ming still wore a calm smile on his face.

Mr. Umino was completely dumbfounded.

Meet?

Oh... a fan meeting, right?

Other celebrities' fan meetings seem to consist mainly of chatting, signing autographs, taking photos, and playing some interactive games.

And the content of Qi Ming's "fan meeting" was actually that he directly "teamed up with fans to fight monsters"...

That's incredibly hardcore. He bowed deeply to Qi Ming: "Thank you for your help! Let's go together!"

The next moment, Mr. Umino vigorously swung the rope, and the lasso wrapped precisely around the tip of Bemstein's pointed head as he squatted down!

Qi Ming: “…”

It's a bit outrageous to be able to throw a lasso tens of meters high.

But it's not inexplicable.

Since Mr. Umino came to challenge the monster with the certainty of death, he is probably currently in a "idealistic state".

Since everyone's focused on idealism, it's not hard to understand why someone with greater strength would be stronger.

Similarly, in "Ultraman Legends", the gasoline barrel probably sensed the bond between humans and Ultraman, so its power increased a million times after following the will of the gods, which is why it caused Hyper Zetton to freeze.

Hmm, thinking about it that way makes a lot more sense.

The two men gripped the ropes tightly and climbed rapidly up Bemstein's massive, mountain-like body.

Perhaps its senses were weakened by the Yapools' modifications, or perhaps it simply didn't care about such a trivial threat.

Just like in the original series, the modified Bemstein showed no reaction, continuing to leisurely absorb natural gas, as if the humans on its body were merely insignificant dust.

Finally, they reached the monster's head. Qi Ming quickly moved to the left eye position, while Teacher Haiye steadily guarded the right eye.

They exchanged a glance, and with a resolute glint in their eyes, the two daggers plunged fiercely into the enormous eyeballs of the modified Bemstein!

"Snapped--"

With a horrifying sound of viscous tissue rupturing, yellowish-brown blood gushed out.

The vision of the modified Bemstein was instantly torn apart, blurred, and excruciating pain surged through its body like an electric current.

It suddenly raised its head and let out a roar that shook the heavens, abruptly stopping its feeding.

Its massive body began to twist and thrash wildly, trying to shake off the intruder—the entire industrial area trembled in this rage.

Not far away, the Flying Swallow 2 hovered in the air.

Inside the cockpit, the team members watched Qi Ming and Haiye's perilous maneuver on the head of Bemstein, holding their breath and sweating profusely.

At Qi Ming's request, the Flying Swallow 2 recorded the entire process between Qi Ming and the other person, and this "hopeful video" will be released to the world later.

In the mountains: "Although I am very clear about Qi Ming's strength, this... this is too reckless, isn't it?"

They didn't even bring a parachute. Didn't they think about what would happen if they fell?

Saijo Nagi in the back seat: "Don't get distracted. The monsters are already in disarray because of their actions, now is the perfect opportunity—you have to hit them!"

"Qi Ming is confident in his physical abilities, and I am confident in my shooting skills." Shan Zhong said, "Qi Ming is confident in his physical abilities, and I am confident in my shooting skills."

After saying that, he locked onto the modified Bemstein's abdomen, then pulled the trigger, and the special concentrated bomb that Torregia had rushed to produce overnight was fired.

Bomb hit!

With its vision blurred, Bemstar couldn't see what was flying towards it, but its instinct to devour made it instinctively "inhale" it in a "storm".

Qi Ming: "The plan has succeeded... Get out of here!"

The two descended rapidly back to the ground along the rope, and Qi Ming, pulling Hai Ye along, ran towards the safe area outside without looking back.

After confirming that they had reached a safe distance, Saijo Nagi decisively activated the remote detonation device for the bomb.

"Boom——!!"

Suffering a double blow from severe eye damage and internal explosion, the modified Bemstar's body stiffened abruptly before being completely pulverized in a deafening explosion!

Bemstein was modified and confirmed dead.

"Whoosh..." A blue light spot was absorbed by Ultraman's random key and transformed into 3 Star Gifts.

"Great! Great! Great!" Mr. Umino was incredibly excited when he saw this.

This time, they did not rely on the power of any Ultraman—they defeated a powerful monster capable of defeating Ultraman Leo solely through human courage and cooperation!

Qi Ming said to Umino, who was standing to the side, "Well done, Mr. Umino."

After calming down a bit from his excitement, Haiye bowed to Qi Ming and said, "I also gained courage from you!"

He said he initially regretted it, but his dignity and commitment as a teacher did not allow him to back down.

Now, he can finally give an explanation to those children and to himself.

Qi Ming: "Courage has always been in your heart. I just happened to be passing by and cheered for you."

As he spoke, he continued to look around warily, preparing for the next attack from the Yapo people.

However, all was quiet, and nothing happened.

"Huh, is it over just like that?" Qi Ming felt something was off.

In the original series, specifically episode 30 of "Taro," titled "Counterattack! Monster Army," Yapool summoned two Super Beasts to help modify Bemstar.

But then nothing happened.

Moreover, shouldn't the Yapools be operating behind the scenes? They're just letting us target their weaknesses.

Where is it? Is it asleep?
....................................

The answer is that he's playing dead.

Just now, the Yapool that modified Bemstar was released, causing chaos to attract attention while secretly sending another [Space-Time Super Beast] to Earth.

He was making arrangements in an orderly manner... until he sensed a fierce aura approaching Earth.

That was the previous evil general—[Evil Bogaru].

Sensing the fierce aura emanating from the other party, and recalling Grozam's previous panicked attitude, the Yapool immediately cut off all contact with the outside world to avoid being discovered by the evil Bogaru.

This is why the modification of Bemstein didn't bother with Qi Ming and Haiye; at that time, it had already been released by the Yapools and was only coping with its dulled instincts.

"It's a pity, but it's good to let this evil Bogaru go to Earth and wreak havoc, thus weakening their forces."

"Moreover, even without my command, the Time-Space Super Beast will definitely cause them a lot of trouble."

But he could never have imagined that, besides the Time-Space Super Beast, there were two other powerful beings on Earth who could stir up time and space, and they had begun to become active.

One is a dragon, and the other is also a "dragon".

----------------

At the beginning of the month, I'm asking for votes for next month.

The monsters in the next event come from these three episodes:

Episode 46 of Ultraman Ace: Crossing the Time Machine.

Episode 36 of Ultraman Tiga: A Smile Beyond Time and Space.

The fourth episode of the 99 version of Seven OV, titled "The Promised Cause and Effect".

I highly recommend watching Seven's episode.

By the way, I've put the video links for the Mebius spin-off "Ultra Galaxy Wars" featuring [Evil Bogaru] in the group announcements of various book clubs. Feel free to take them if you need them.
