Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 572, Chapter 568: Father of Ultra Seriously Criticizes a Certain Red-Faced Ultraman
Carried by Father of Ultra's green orb, Qi Ming and Seven arrived in the Land of Light in just three days.

Zoffy brought many familiar faces to warmly welcome the heroes who had defeated the Dark Emperor, creating quite a lively atmosphere.

A few days ago, they learned the general situation through the Ultra Sign that Father of Ultra used to let others know he was safe.

"As expected of Mr. Qi Ming, who once defeated Belial and reclaimed the plasma core."

"Seven, I heard you traveled back 30 million years, and there were many giants of light there too. Is that true?"

"Did they also evolve from being irradiated by a plasma core, just like us? Where did they end up?"

Hearing this, Qi Ming became curious and asked Moroboshi Dan, "You've fought alongside those giants of light for so long, haven't you exchanged any contact information?"
"Didn't they tell you where you'll go when you retire and go home?"

Seven thought for a moment and said, "It should be Orion."

Qi Ming: "Orion, that's a huge area."

The space covered by the constellation Orion could theoretically hold about 6.4 million star systems the size of our solar system.

However, this answer is still quite reliable.

In the original concept of "Ultraman Tiga", Tiga and the giants of light came from the distant Orion constellation, and Yuzare also said that Orion was the home of the giants.

Qi Ming asked Father of Ultra for help, requesting that future members of the Space Garrison keep a close eye on Orion during their patrols.

Thirty million years have passed. If Ultraman Tiga himself had lived to this day and had never stopped his spiritual practice...

He must be very strong now!
Father of Ultra nodded in agreement.

In addition to searching for "the Time-Space City where Victory is imprisoned" and "the Magma Star Fleet where Astra is imprisoned", the members of the Space Garrison who patrolled outside also had the additional task of finding the Giant of Light in Orion.

After hearing the details, Zoffy said, "The Reibloodians have destroyed more than just the ancient civilizations. They are truly terrifying and evil beings. We must increase our vigilance against them."

Qi Ming asked curiously, "But he disappeared afterward and lost his body, otherwise the Earth wouldn't have returned to human hands."

"What happened in between? Who destroyed his body?"

Zoffy shook his head; he didn't know about it either.

Subsequently, Father of Ultra and Qi Ming arrived at the Space Science and Technology Bureau of the Land of Light.

"Captain, Qi Ming, you're back."

Director Hikari came out to greet them, somewhat regretful that because he had left Earth, he was unable to face the Dark Emperor alongside his former comrades, such as Qi Ming.

However, the Kingdom of Light in the hybrid universe faces far greater pressure than in the original universe, and as the director, he has a great many projects to oversee.

And now we have two more orders.

Father of Ultra took out the Ultra Dumbbell that had been damaged by Alien Empera. Unlike the other gadgets, he found this one very easy to use, so he asked Hikari to help him fix it.

Hikari: "Leave it to me."

Qi Ming: "I already have Alien Empera inside and outside my body. I'll find a chance to transform and let you have a good fight to make up for the regrets later, but the problem now is that I'm missing a weapon..."

Qi Ming then took out the "Emperor's Blade," which had been interrupted by Royal Termination and Dark Orb's Supreme Holy Sword, and asked Hikari to repair it.

Hikari: "This is simpler than 'Max Galaxy'."

He also informed Qi Ming about the development progress of Max Galaxy—it was still a while away, probably one or two months.

"One or two months? Please."

Afterwards, Qi Ming and Father of Ultra arrived at the Space Prison, where they encountered many ferocious monsters and aliens, numbering in the dozens.

"The most ferocious monster in the universe, [Bemular]; the most dangerous monster in the universe, [Kelbim]; the insect-type shelled monster, [Insectas]; the alien that attaches itself to [Ponsat Alien]..."

There were also some pirate aliens, the Barossa aliens, captured by Zamsha and the Guregorians, according to Father of Ultra.

The Land of Light must have gone to great lengths to bring these guys here.

After clearing out all of these guys, there will be enough for ten consecutive draws!
Upon seeing the arrival of Father of Ultra, many aliens immediately shouted:

"Father of Ultra, you wait! I'll leave this hellhole just like Belial did back then, and wipe out the Land of Light, leaving no survivors! Hahaha!"

"That's right, you think you can reform us? You're wasting your time. Just wait until I get out here, and you'll see what I'm capable of!"

Father of Ultra didn't hold back either, clasping his hands together and unleashing the [Great Ray], which struck the leader of the clamoring alien, Icarus, turning him into ashes.

A green light spot was sucked into Qi Ming's random key.

【Access/Conversion】.
Qi Ming chose to deposit or withdraw.

Because the Icarus aliens are one of the components used to synthesize Tyrant.

The monsters and aliens, who had been agitated just moments before, froze for a moment.

what's the situation.

Is the plan to abandon moral education today and instead execute them later in the autumn?
Father of Ultra continued the executions, while Qi Ming relentlessly transformed his life energy into Star Gifts.

Soon, the Star Power reached its limit.

Star Power: 20.
20!

After the second upgrade, the maximum value of any key star has reached 20!

This gives him even more room to maneuver in the future; it's an epic buff!
"However, this upgrade seems to have increased more than just the capacity of Star Gift..." Qi Ming thought to himself.

He had vaguely sensed that the radiant light of the ancient warriors' indomitable fighting spirit had unlocked something...

Let's delve into these details later; the Star Blessing value has reached its limit, it's time for the Stars to gather.

Qi Ming activated Star Gathering, and Father of Ultra looked over. Although he was a high-ranking captain, he was also very curious about what Star Gathering with the "Any Key" would look like.

Four laser beams opened up a light screen, and images appeared inside the screen.

Four Ultraman appeared on the light screen, walking through the crimson monster graveyard.

Standing on the far right, with an orange and silver body and distinctly feminine characteristics, is Ultraman Grigio.

She is the sister of Ultraman Rosso and Ultraman Blu, the brothers Rosso and Blu.

Standing on the far left, only half the height of a normal Ultraman, and looking like a child, is [Ultraman Boy].

He's an elementary school student from the Land of Light, and he literally eats at the children's table.

The one with asymmetrical patterns on its body and whose color timer is not in the center of its chest is Ultraman Nice.

There's no story behind it, just ignore it.

The last Ultraman with the big red face is Ultraman Zearth.

One of the Ultramen who has had two theatrical releases, his treatment is arguably the best among the four Ultramen.

He is an Ultraman with severe mysophobia, which can be seen from his transformation method of "brushing his teeth".

In the early part of the original series, he would go berserk and lose his will to fight because he got dirty.

The evil alien who saw through his weakness tortured him with all sorts of filthy garbage.

But he can also willingly step into the enemy's trap to protect the children, and overcome his own weaknesses to protect the earth and life, so as to surpass himself and defeat the enemy.

Overall, he is a very kind and inspiring Ultraman.

but……

Grigio, Boy, Nice, and Ultraman Zearth are working together...

This picture.

Is that footage from "Ultraman Galaxy Fight 3"? Then Zearth is about to demonstrate what "regression theory" means.

Father of Ultra's strength has declined due to a back injury, while Zearth... can demonstrate a decline in willpower, getting worse as he gets older.

The scene continued, and Ultraman Boy took out a bright red stone that looked like a drop of blood, attracting the attention of the other Ultramen.

While Zearth and Nais were still marveling at the discovery, Grigio exclaimed, "This is a demon fragment!"

In an instant, the three Ultramen, Zearth, were all startled.

"Sister, here you go!" Young Boy stuffed the demon fragment into Grigio's hand, and the other Ultramen all backed away as if they were venomous snakes.

This appearance piqued the curiosity of Father of Ultra: "What are Demon Fragments?"

Qi Ming replied, "Fragments of Belial's cells can make monsters more ferocious, enhance their power, and even resurrect dead monsters and aliens."

Father of Ultra was shocked, never expecting that even the fragments that broke off from Belial's body would possess such incredible power.

Qi Ming: "That's mainly due to Reiblood's abilities."

However, it's quite absurd, considering that this demon fragment even revived Gilbaris, the Black Dragon King who was defeated in the Geed movie, in Ultraman Z.

Does Reibrand know how to program? His skills are so advanced!

The next moment, the scene changed, and Gina, the sister of the eldest brother Mold and the sister of the youngest brother Juda, appeared, trying to steal the Demon Fragment.

The Gu A-San siblings are demonic beings born from the darkness and distortion of the universe. They have committed countless evil deeds and their hands are stained with the blood of innocent people.

When Gina said, "With the Demon Shard, my brothers can be resurrected," Grigio immediately began to empathize because of the word "brothers," demonstrating her ability to "love."

Gigi says she understands the grief of losing her brother, and that the Demon Shard would only amplify the sorrow, so she urges Gina to think carefully.

Qi Ming guessed that Gina was probably laughing by now. Would our utterly wicked and heinous Gu A-san siblings be afraid of this?
Qi Ming felt goosebumps when he first watched the original series, and now, watching it again, he feels even more goosebumps.

But he persevered thanks to his strong heart, which had survived even in the "original beginnings".

After Gigi and Gina fought for a while, a golden portal opened, and three figures walked out of it.

From left to right, they are the necromancer Reiberts, who has the ability to revive life; the ultimate life form Tartarus; and the Baltan alien, who was revived by Reiberts after being defeated by Ultraman Saga.

Tartarus restrained Grigio, and the necromancer Reiberts grinned as he approached the three Ultramen, Zearth.

This immediately frightened Zaissan'ao so much that he retreated repeatedly.

Yes, the Ultra Warriors fled without a fight.

Don't come here!

"Come on!"

Then, Zais retreated while grabbing his teammate Nais in front of him to act as a human shield, and hid behind him.

You read that right, Ultraman warriors are using their teammates as meat shields, starting with the saying "better to die than to die."

Upon seeing this, Father of Ultra immediately spoke sternly: "What's wrong with this red-faced Ultra Warrior? He's too cowardly. How could he sacrifice his teammates to protect himself?"

Qi Ming: "He was probably too nervous."

The scene shows Reberts throwing a punch, and Nais, who is at the front, lowers his head. Reberts' fist hits Zais.

"Ouch." Zais covered his face and backed away, while Nice ran away with Ultraman Boy, decisively abandoning his teammate.

Father of Ultra remained completely silent.

Finally, the image froze on Ultraman Zearth.

Ultraman Zearth.
Integration level: 60%.
Rating: B.

Have the stars gathered in Zaias?

Hmm... alright, it's better than getting the star to be an elementary school student [Ultraman Boy]. My luck wasn't too bad either.

Furthermore, judging from the appearance of Ultraman Regulus in Ultraman Zearth, who was defeated by Zearth, Zearth's strength is among the best in Class B.

Next, Father of Ultra launched another attack, and soon his Star Gift Value returned to 20.
Qi Ming and Xingju gathered once again.

The screen reappeared, showing the original Ultraman fighting a monster that crawls on all fours.

That's the million-ton monster, Stigdon, from episode 34 of Ultraman, titled "The Gift from the Sky"!
In the original series, this was a monster that fell from space to Tokyo. It didn't have much of an aggressive desire and spent most of its time sleeping.

Its defense is extremely strong; the Science Patrol can't break it at all, and even Ultraman's fighting attacks are ineffective against it.

And most importantly—it's very heavy!
In the scene, Ultraman is seen carrying Sgate on his back, attempting an over-the-shoulder throw.

As a result, because the monster was too heavy, the first generation failed to fall halfway and was instead pressed to the ground by [Segton], unable to get up for a long time.

Father of Ultra: "...Good, what a lively scene."

Qi Ming: “…”

Soon, the image of Star Convergence focused on [Sgeton], which had crushed the original Ultraman.

Sgaten.

Rating: B.
Father of Ultra continued his rampage, and Qi Ming's Star Gift Value returned to 20, allowing him to gather stars once more.

In this Star Gathering scene, the original Ultraman is battling the space dinosaur [Zetton].

It's quite a coincidence to see the original Ultraman twice in a row. I wonder if there's some kind of magic involved.

Whether it's the enhancements in the old online game "DDTank", the boosts in "Dungeon Fighter Online", or the card draws in various mobile games nowadays, there are supposedly some kind of mystical methods like "padding" (using random keys to buff your character). I wonder if the "any key" method works too.

In the scene depicted by Star Gathering, Ultraman, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, spins rapidly and emits a yellow "capture halo," locking Zetton in place.

But Jaden easily broke free.

Zetton then used his teleportation ability to appear behind Ultraman and unleashed two [Trillion-degree fireballs] at him.

After realizing what was happening, the original dodged to the side, and a trillion-degree fireball shattered two panes of glass at the Science Patrol base.

The two continued to fight, but Zetton completely dominated the original, almost to the point of being evenly matched, as the original seemed to have no chance to fight back.

Finally, the original's beam hit Zetton, but Zetton absorbed it and bounced back, hitting the original in the chest.

The first generation swayed and slowly collapsed.

In the scene of Sgateon's Star Convergence, the original Ultraman was crushed and defeated by Sgateon.

In the scene where Zetton unites its stars, the original Ultraman is killed by Zetton.

Thus, the first generation left behind the lesson that "you can't use beams to fight Zetton" with their lives—a lesson learned in blood that will surely be followed by those who come after.

Finally, the star-studded scene freezes on Zetton, who has defeated Ultraman.

Jaden.

Rating: A.

Qi Ming: “!”

The original Zetton was actually a Rank A!
No wonder it was the first monster to kill Ultraman...

However, this powerful A-class monster will eventually be taken down by the Science Patrol with a single rocket attack...

No wonder even a trillion-degree fireball could only shatter the Science Patrol's windows; the Science Patrol's technology is unparalleled!

I drew an A-rank item after only three draws, and it was the famous Zetton with unlimited potential!
Qi Ming's heart burned with excitement; he could still throw a few more shots!
------------------

Let's digress a bit and show you something interesting.

Ultraman Omega triumphed over the invincible Origin (a big lie).
