Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 561, Section 557: Seven: Why are all the characters in the ancient times Dyna?

Sensing the intense hostility of the two giants of light towards Tiga, Seven composed himself and asked, "If Tiga were willing to choose the light and fight alongside us to end the suffering of this world, would you be willing to accept them then?"

Daya and Soruka exchanged a glance:
"So you weren't joking after all. You were serious about what you said. You really believe that Tiga would betray the darkness?"

"If he is truly willing to repent and turn over a new leaf, we can certainly give him that chance, but that's impossible."

"Although he didn't show much besides his powerful combat ability, Camilla, who was very close to him, was the most evil demon."

"If Tiga can become like Camilla, is there any possibility that he will repent?"

"Once a dark giant, always a dark giant!"

Seven: "Besides Camilla, are there any other characters named Darramb and Hitler?"

Daya: "It seems you've been keeping an eye on intelligence. That's right, Camilla, Darramb, Hitra, and Tiga—their group is the strongest among the Dark Giants."

"If we can deal with them, the Dark Giants will be nothing to fear."

Seven nodded, indicating that he would do his best.

Next, the three giants of light led Bizar and the hundred or so humans to the nearest "camp".

In such a cruel world where monsters roam and giants of light and darkness wage endless war, the camp is by no means a peaceful place to stay.

Built with the help of the giants of light, it stands in a treacherous mountain valley, more of a temporary fortress to prepare for impending destruction than a home.

The outer perimeter consists of a hastily erected massive stone wall and a rough wooden fence deeply embedded in the ground, with uneven joints and a structure designed for stability rather than aesthetics.

Everyone knew that if the Dark Giants invaded, this place could be reduced to ruins in an instant, so all the designs were only for short-term defense and rapid evacuation.

The interior was crowded and oppressive, and people's faces showed a mixture of exhaustion, fear, and a stubborn will to survive.

Throughout the journey, Seven, whose primary job was as a stellar observer, kept looking around.

He discovered that the ancient air, geology, and plants were not much different from the Earth he was familiar with.

However, compared to Earth 30 million years from now, this world is filled with an overwhelming sense of savagery, brutality, and ferocity, making people's minds constantly on edge.

Looking at the lifeless faces of the people in the camp, Seven felt a pang of sadness: "Are these all the survivors?"

Daya understood what he was thinking: "There are a few similar camps, protected by other giants... but there are indeed not many surviving local residents, all because of those despicable dark giants!"

Seven nodded. On the way here, he already knew that Daya and Solka always took the lead in every battle and were of impeccable character, so they were recognized by the Giants of Light and were considered leaders.

Seven: "So, you two are the strongest?"

Soruka: "No, that guy is probably stronger than us, and his monster partner is also very powerful, but... don't count on him."

Daya also looked distressed: "That guy, I really don't know what he's thinking. He could save the world by simply eliminating all the dark giants, but he keeps looking for other things in the sea."

That rascal?
Seven was taken aback. At that moment, seven giants descended from the sky. These were summoned by Daya and Soruka to welcome Seven, their new companion.

Even Dan Moroboshi, with his composure, couldn't hold back when he saw their red and silver bodies and faces.

They were a few people who looked a bit... a bit... a bit eccentric.

And as expected of the two sides who are closely related, they look almost identical.

And for some reason, he looks a bit like Qi Mingjun transformed into Ultraman Dyna...

But the seven giants didn't seem to realize anything was wrong, and they started talking amongst themselves as they looked at the newly appeared Seven.

"Is this the new teammate?"

"I heard he could defeat that ferocious and terrifying Tiga? Is that true?"

"Where are you from? Are you also from Orion?"

Dan Moroboshi composed himself: "My name is Seven, and I come from a very far away place."

He didn't immediately say, "I come from 30 million years in the future. Ultraman Tiga finally abandoned darkness and turned to light. You must believe me and listen to me." That would easily be mistaken for a member of the mountain team, thus affecting harmony.

One of the "Dynas" said, "Okay, let's fight to protect the survivors of this world."

Seven: "To be precise, it's fighting alongside the survivors here."

After saying that, he looked at the survivors who had gathered and were looking up at the giants: "If the Dark Giants attack in the future, I hope that humanity can also join the fight."

These words immediately caused an uproar.

Daya: "Seven, what are you talking about? How can humans fight? They are too fragile, they can't grow to gigantic size, and they have no fighting ability at all."

Soruka: "That's right. If we have to spare manpower to protect humans, it will only make things worse. They just need to survive behind us."

The other Giants of Light looked at Seven, unable to understand their new companion, and thought he was talking nonsense.

The survivors below also looked uneasy.

"If we go to the battlefield, won't that mean we'll die?"

"Without the protection of the Giants of Light, we are nothing compared to the Dark Giants."

"Do the giants no longer want to protect us? Are they going to use us as cannon fodder...?"

"Quiet down, all of you! What kind of behavior are you all behaving like this!"

Finally, Bizaru, a highly respected figure among the survivors, stepped forward and silenced the crowd.

He looked up at Seven:
"If you hadn't just saved us, we would definitely have been killed by Golza and Tiga."

"You gave me my life. If you need me next time, I am willing to follow you."

"But we humans don't have the power of giants, which will probably disappoint you."

The next moment, Seven transformed into Dan Moroboshi and walked up to Bizarre, looking him in the eye.

He took out his Victory Hyper rifle, turned it to maximum power, placed it in his hand, pointed to the boulder beside him, and said, "Pull the trigger there."

Bizaru did as he was told, and the next moment, the Victory Hypa Gun emitted a bright green laser, shattering the boulder into pieces.

The crowd of onlookers erupted in uproar.

Bizaru: "Amazing."

Dan Moroboshi: "This 'powerful' quality originates from humanity; it's a weapon independently developed by humankind."

The surrounding crowd erupted in astonishment: "What! This is a weapon developed by humankind? How is that possible?"

While the scientific level of the ancient past is not like that of primitive society, it is still inferior to that of the 21st century.

To them, the ability to emit lasers is a power belonging only to higher beings like monsters and giants.

Dan Moroboshi patiently explained:

"In the places where I fought in the past, there were also humans. They had the same appearance as you, the same character, and a will that was no less than that of the Titans when facing danger."

"Although they do not have the physique of giants under normal circumstances, they have unlimited potential."

"In many battles, I would never have been able to win without human help."

He recalled the days when he fought alongside Koujou, Soga, and Annu. Once, an alien called "Guts Alien" wanted to invade Earth and collected Seven's combat data.

With all his moves exposed, he was no match for the Guts aliens. After being defeated, he was imprisoned in a cross and nearly executed. ①
At the critical moment, it was Guqiao and Soga who, with all their might, saved him and finally defeated the Guts aliens.

Although the GUTS team was later reorganized, the frequency of monster attacks increased, and they were always in large groups, so the role of human forces was not as significant.

But they were not willing to fall behind and continued to work hard on their research.

Besides... isn't Qi Ming also human?
He was only twenty-two years old. Although he acted somewhat drastically, he always managed to demonstrate a level of awareness that moved even himself at crucial moments.

Dan Moroboshi continued:
“You are by no means a burden, and you can do much more than just hide in the back.”

"You are trustworthy comrades-in-arms, partners who can create miracles at critical moments."

Hearing Seven's solemn tone, the survivors wavered slightly.

Dan Moroboshi continued, "My former captain was also human. He told me, 'The Earth must be protected by the hands of humanity itself.' I believe you can do it."

Bizaru looked dazed: "Can we humans really fight against monsters and dark giants?"

Dan Moroboshi thought of what Professor Umino had said:

"We need to be motivated. If humanity works hard, taking down one or two Dark Giants won't be a problem."

"Come, let me tell you how to make a Victory Hyper rifle like this."

After saying this, Dan Moroboshi began to impart his knowledge, intending to act as a link to pass on the technology and spirit of future humans to the ancient humans.

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

Tokyo, Earth, 30 million years from now.

"call out!"

Agul unleashes his ultimate move, "Agul Stream," completely defeating the second Impreza.

But after unleashing that attack, his color timer started flashing, and he was kneeling on the ground, panting from the exhaustion.

Behind him, Impreza, who had been beaten half to death, slowly raised the muzzle of his cannon, preparing to kill Agul.

"Whoosh!" The next moment, Jugglus Juggler, piloting Asgard, descended from the sky, launching a missile that knocked down Impreza and took over.

In addition, Jinlong, Yinlong, Feiyan II, Dyna Wing, Atdis... except for Aizen Makoto, who was ordered by Qi Ming to "remain in the general reserve," everyone else was mobilized.

TLT and other defense organizations in the United States also launched attacks, and the entire world is fighting back with all its might!

However, for every Impreza defeated, a new Impreza will immediately take its place via spatial teleportation.

The Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon could no longer hold on and began to tire. The Flying Swallow II and the Atlas crashed again...

Despite the fierce battle, the number of Imprezas on Earth has remained at a constant thirteen!
Jing Tianjinglong's gaze turned serious: "Just how many reserve troops does the other side have? If this continues, won't we be worn down and killed?"

Even before the Alien Empera arrived, his Empera Legion alone had already put immense pressure on all living beings on Earth.

A heavy sense of oppression rose in Tregear's heart as he deactivated his transformation.

"I'll go too, I can still fight!" said Fengyuan, who had just turned off his transformation a few minutes earlier.

Qi Ming: "No need, you get some rest. Leave these guys to me."

He turned the dial, and the silhouette of the evil Bogaru appeared on the screen.

Evil Bodhiru.

Integration level: 60%.
Rating: Grade A.
..........................................

On the battlefield in Tokyo.

With Jugglus Juggler at full power, Asgaron, despite being severely weakened, destroyed the remaining Impreza.

But before the two could even catch their breath, a flash of white light appeared, and another Impreza teleported onto the battlefield!

Their shoulder cannons unleashed a barrage of fireballs, hurtling towards Asgaron and Agul.

At this critical moment, a crimson figure appeared, blocking the two and absorbing the fireball with his chest.

That is... the evil Bodhi!

Qi Ming has transformed into the evil Bogaru from the previous [save/access] and appeared on the battlefield!

"Although the evil Bogaru can't defeat Alien Empera, it will definitely be no problem to clear out Alien Empera's minions."

The next moment, the evil Bogaru appeared behind the Impreza, and its wing-like maw swallowed it whole.

Eat impraza raw!

"Successfully digested, ugh... Fujimiya, can you guess what it feels like for me to eat a robot raw?"

Fujimiya, who had transformed into Agul, was taken aback. She hadn't expected Qi Ming to have the mind to say such things at this critical moment.

But after thinking for a moment, he replied, "The taste will probably be the coldness of metal and the greasiness of lubricant. The internal energy core might provide an instant energy boost, but the rigid structure of the outer shell would probably feel like chewing on a mouthful of tasteless, hard shell..."

Qi Ming: "Correct answer. It is indeed hard to swallow, but at times like this, we can't care about the taste."

The next moment, the evil Bogaru activated the teleportation ability that had previously caused a lot of trouble for the Ultramen, and arrived at the Paris battlefield, swallowing Impreza, who was fighting against Dyna Wing, whole.

He teleported again and kept gulping it down.

"Perhaps I can use this transformation to practice multitasking." Qi Ming used Bogaru's clone ability to create four clones to devour, greatly increasing efficiency.

The battle situation immediately underwent a dramatic change.

Even though Impreza is almost endless, it "dies as soon as it shows its head," meaning that no matter how many come, they are all swallowed whole by the evil Bogaru.

After devouring dozens of Imprezas, Qi Ming could feel that his evil Bogaru body had become stronger, with its integration rate increasing to 63%.

The Aliens of Empera probably realized this was not a good thing and stopped sending new Implezas.

The first wave of attack was successfully thwarted.

Immediately afterwards, the majestic and solemn voice of the Alien Empera echoed across the skies once more.

"Do you think this will work? Then I'll show you just how foolish and shallow you are."

A colossal "Dark Terror" broke through the atmosphere and descended towards Earth.

Alien Emperor himself has taken to the field!
"I am the ruler of darkness, Alien Emperor, of the Ultra race. The time has finally come to settle scores from 30,000 years ago!"

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

①This is a particularly classic episode of "The Assassination Plan for Seven" from the Ultraman Seven series, and I highly recommend everyone to watch it.

Also, yesterday a reader messaged me privately, asking for the director's cut of the final trilogy of "Ultraman Dyna".

(This version includes a lot more visual content, such as the portrayal of Ryo and Asuka's relationship, and the reactions of their teammates after learning Asuka's true identity.)
Just like the previous side story featuring the evil Bogaru, I've also included it in the group announcements of the three book clubs. Feel free to take it if you need it.

(The group is in the author's comments below)
