Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 577, Section 573: The Black Shill Driven Mad by Qi Ming (Bonus Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Although he had suspected it beforehand, White still jumped and became alert the moment Black Tu appeared.

"Don't be nervous. I'm here to wait for the 'friend' you summoned with your Ultra Sign. I won't interfere with your battle." Heto said with a relaxed air.

"You saw everything?" Bai Tuo's heart sank.

This guy was indeed observing from behind the scenes all along; that broadcast was definitely bait he laid out.

Since he can see himself issuing the Ultra Sign, he certainly has the ability to shatter it.

But he didn't do that...

“That’s right, I’ve become stronger. Qi Ming will be very surprised when he sees me again,” Hei Tuo said leisurely.

After being brutally beaten by the rainbow dragon controlled by the Reiblood aliens, Reiblood looked at the great evil god sealed inside his color timer, which made him feel a chill.

While also standing on the opposite side of light, this "veteran" has even more unfathomable methods, but he will not sit idly by and wait for his doom.

However, just as he was about to make a desperate gamble, Reiblood left silently with the rainbow dragon.

They just left like that.

He was surprised, and after much thought, he concluded that Reiblood was wary of the Great Evil God.

He no longer has a physical body, and his spirit is still crippled. Daring to plot against the Great Evil God is just playing with fire and getting burned.

But the look Reibrando gave him before he left still makes him uneasy.

He wouldn't have secretly marked me, would he...?

After a full-body check that found nothing, Heito continued on to the planet Oula.

Seeing the foolish and fanatical appearance of the believers, he felt pleasure at this crazy world. This pleasure dispelled his unease, so he prepared to bring the White Tor from Earth over.

Meanwhile, the Great Evil God has absorbed the dark energy from R'lyeh during this time and has become even stronger!
With the Great Evil God as his source of power, his combat strength has now reached a new level!

"It really was you. Why did you do such a thing?" White Tor asked Black Tor while fighting the stone statue.

"Because you are another version of me, I really want your approval and understanding."

Heto seemed to chuckle as he pointed to the statue: "If you really disagree, then you'll just have to let him endorse me on your behalf."

“You’re absolutely insane,” Bai Tuo said coldly.

“Actually, I also once went to a planet called Eurasian… So you are another version of me, our life trajectories are too similar.” Hei Tuo suddenly showed a nostalgic look.

He said that when he left the Land of Light, his first stop was also a place called "Eurasian Star".

However, that's a planet that collects waste and garbage.

At that time, Black felt that the abandoned Garbage Star was a good match for him, a useless Ultraman.

Here, he created a small, leech-like monster that he had encountered during his adventures with Taro.

He named this monster "Little Dot".

[Little Dot] really likes him, which alleviates Hei Tuo's loneliness.

But the little guy kept devouring the endless garbage, growing bigger and bigger until it became a behemoth hundreds of meters tall. It went out of control and began attacking the cities and residents of Planet Oula.

Torregia could no longer control it, and the weak Torregia was powerless to stop the "Little One".

In the end, he could only painfully use the backdoor he left when creating "Little Dot" to crash and kill it with the controller.

Killing the creation that had once healed his soul made Heto's heart even more somber.

"Because you are in pain, you want to make the people here suffer so that I can feel that pain?" Bai Tuo shouted after hearing this, "Absurd!"

“No, no, no, I just wanted to show you ‘chaos.’” Heto looked at the fragmented world.

"Your kindness and my malice have created a new atmosphere in this world—this is chaos!"

Heto pointed at the Pope: "Look, the people you saved out of kindness have ended up causing malice. This is chaos!"

"By the way, I didn't force him. He was incredibly enthusiastic when he heard he could become the Pope and be a superior person!"

"It doesn't feel good to be an accomplice to evil, does it?"

In the past, Bai Tuo would have felt upset and confused after hearing this.

But after following Qi Ming for a while and learning the "dialectics" he taught, Bai Tuo no longer fell for his sophistry.

He scoffed, "What chaotic new atmosphere? Isn't it just you doing bad things?"

This direct statement made Heto pause for a moment. He said:

"This isn't like me at all. Did you learn bad habits from that guy named Qi Ming? You don't actually want to become a Messenger of Light, do you?"

"Don't be silly. You'll only keep stepping into forbidden territory because of your crazy and obsessive curiosity, and end up like me."

"Let's avoid taking some detours."

Bai Tuo's words were simple: "We are different. You are full of bad intentions, while I have many friends, including someone like Mr. Qi Ming who can understand me."

Heito was once again speechless at these direct words.

This guy is getting less and less elegant...

After exchanging blows for several rounds, Bai Tuo nimbly dodged the statue's heavy blows and used the momentum to throw the massive stone statue to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

As the statue struggled to its feet, Bai Tuo swiftly summoned the protective "experimental machine" that he had previously placed in space and brought with him.

A "black iron rod" descended from the sky, then hovered in front of Bai Tuo, expanding into a huge machine.

That was a [light amplifier] that he developed in his spare time during this period!
Skills, physique, and resilience can be rapidly enhanced through rigorous training.

However, the energy within the body increases very slowly and requires time to accumulate.

Therefore, Bai Tuo decided to make up for his shortcomings with the help of external objects and created this experimental machine called the "Light Amplifier"!

"Let's end this!" White Torto released the Torreishum Ray again, which struck the beam amplifier.

"Whoosh!" After being amplified by the light amplifier, his beam became even more dazzling and solid, shooting towards the rising statue with double the power.

Sensing a deadly threat, the statue hastily released another dark red beam in an attempt to counter it.

Another clash!

But this time, the situation is different!
Amplified by the light amplifier, Bai Tuo's more condensed light overwhelmed the statue's light with overwhelming force, blasting it onto the statue!

The statue was blasted away, its body smoking, and it didn't get up for most of the day.

The outcome has been decided.

The cardinal and his fervent followers were struck dumb at the sight.

Their true god was actually defeated by heretics.

how so!
"Next, it will end. Freedom and rights belong to all living beings..." After two consecutive beams of light, the color timer on Bai Tuo's chest began to flash.

But he persevered, determined to finish off the idol and destroy it completely.

"Wait a moment." Seeing this, Hei Tuo stepped forward.

"So they're really going to make a move?" Bai Tuo stopped in his tracks.

"How could that be? Although I'm just a tiny demon, I still keep my word. I'm just giving you a heads-up." Black Tor's tone was full of malice.

"remind?"

"You must have noticed these past few days that this idol has absorbed some of the souls of those who pray to it. Guess what will happen to them if you destroy it?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Tuo's body trembled violently.

"The answer is... they'll die together! Hahahaha!" Black Tor laughed loudly, and White Tor's body trembled.

At the same time, the statue glowed and began to repair itself. Heito pressed on, asking, "Come on, choose: destroy it completely before it repairs itself, and kill all those innocent people along with it?"

"Or should we just let it go and maintain the old, bloody, and dark order of this world?"

"Of course, I reckon you won't be able to do it. You can't do anything but watch as your name becomes a totem of the oppressors, bearing the consequences of your self-righteous sense of justice, hahaha!"

Seeing Bai Tuo trembling violently, Hei Tuo was very satisfied.

He had meticulously prepared this plan for so long, all for the sake of achieving an unsolvable outcome.

Sink into darkness, suffer, and cast away your ridiculous naivety!
However, the next moment...

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Two blazing beams of light descended from the sky and struck him.

It's Zoffy's "M87" beam and Seven's "Cluster Beam"!
"Hmm? Has the Land of Light's reinforcements arrived?" But this move was useless against Black Tor now, and he simply raised his hand to block it.

Immediately afterwards, a huge body in red, silver and purple landed next to Bai Tuo—it was Qi Ming transformed into Ultraman Tiga!

He shone an orange beam of light onto the statue, causing it to tremble.

The next second, countless fragments of souls, shimmering with a faint light, burst forth from the statue like birds breaking free of their cages, transforming into a shower of light that scattered in all directions.

They are returning to their original human bodies!
"What!" Blackie, who had been so confident just moments before, was completely stunned when he saw this.

How could this happen!

He actually has a technique that can recall the souls absorbed by the idols he created.

Qi Ming's voice came from Tigali: "It actually works! It was worth spending half a minute flipping through the skill list to find this skill."

Ultraman Tiga really knows a lot! I originally thought it would take Chegas to handle him.

Black Tor's body trembled violently.

Half a minute?
My plan, which I spent so much time preparing, was ruined by him in half a minute?

He could no longer maintain that superior, nonchalant demeanor he had when he was in control of the situation and teasing Bai Tuo. Every time he saw Qi Ming, his emotions became very unstable...

"Mr. Qi Ming, you've arrived!" Bai Tuo was very excited. He quickly said, "Be careful, Dark Toregia has become even stronger now."

"Coincidentally, I've become stronger now too." Qi Ming said as he channeled energy into Bai Tuo.

After receiving Tiga's energy, the color timer on Bai Tuo's chest turned a bright blue.

He fired another beam of light at the statue that no longer contained human souls, shattering it completely.

"No!" The cardinals and other beneficiaries felt as if their hearts were bleeding as they watched the idol crumble.

After doing all this, Bai Tuo once again spoke, his voice echoing throughout the entire planet.

"There is no such god as Toregia anymore. Toregia has never protected you!"

"Your happy life depends entirely on you!"

Qi Ming clapped his hands: "Well said!"

He had actually just arrived, but he and Zoffy Seven both agreed that this was a hurdle that White had to overcome on his own.

Qi Ming thought he would need to say something like, "You have no obligation to take responsibility for the unexpected changes you made, because you did save a lot of people back then..." to comfort Bai Tuo.

But it seems that it's no longer necessary.

He passed this "trial" and stepped onto a new level.

Next, all we need to do is let him and Heito make a clean break.

“Defeating the idol isn’t enough. You also need to personally defeat Dark Toregia to prove that you have surpassed him and will not follow his old path,” Qi Ming said.

"He defeated me? Hahaha!" Heito's laughter was grating.

"I am no match for him," Bai Tuo said frankly.

Qi Ming: "Why do you say that? Your willpower and combat skills are not much worse than his, so it all comes down to not having enough strength."

"But Heto is so strong because he relies on the power of the 'Great Evil God,' which is an external force. Why don't you borrow a powerful force of light as well?"

Bai Tuo was taken aback: "Borrow?"

How to borrow?
"Of course you'll borrow it from me." Qi Ming deactivated his transformation and beckoned Bai Tuo to deactivate his transformation as well.

Bai Tuo was confused, but he completely trusted Qi Ming and also transformed back into Kirisaki.

Qi Ming raised his fist: "Black Tor has a great evil god, but you also have us as your partners. Come on, I'll give you power."

Bai Tuo was familiar with this gesture. He immediately raised his fist and collided with Qi Ming's fist, turning into a blue stream of light that merged into Qi Ming's body.

Black Tor: "Be one with him? You think you can defeat me by manipulating his body? How laughable!"

Qi Ming turned the dial: "No, no, no, I don't want to become him, I want to become... this!"

He took a picture of the watch face.

The next moment, a beam of light shot into the sky, and when the light dissipated, a figure who was extremely familiar with both Bai Tuo and Hei Tuo appeared there.

"Taro!" Heto exclaimed instinctively.

Qi Ming transformed into Ultraman Taro!

Moreover, because he is now one with Bai Tuo, there are two consciousnesses within Ultraman Taro!

“Come on, let’s switch shifts. Tregear, you’ll use Taro’s power,” Qi Ming said.

The next moment, he handed over control of his body to Bai Tuo, who was one with him.

White quickly took over Ultraman Taro's body.

“This…this…I’m not dreaming. I’m inside Taro’s body right now.”

"Is this... Taro's power?"

He inexplicably controlled Taro's hand and touched Taro's breastplate.

The black man on the other side was completely dumbfounded when he saw this.

My parallel universe counterpart became Taro?
What's causing this strange feeling...?

What's with this unprecedented feeling of anger?!

"I wasn't dreaming. This is Taro. Now I've become Taro, I've become the Messenger of Light!"

"I will inherit his will and wipe away the darkness!" After confirming that everything that had happened was real, Bai Tuo clenched his fist.

Yes! Taro never truly left him. He always remembered him, always looked up to him as a role model, and wanted to do as well as him.

Now, Mr. Qi Ming has directly transformed himself into Taro!
Taro... Mr. Qi Ming... the two people he cherished most were by his side.

This feeling is wonderful!

Blackie was trembling all over when he realized what was happening.

He was even more furious than Qi Ming was after using Ultraman Tiga's skill to purify the statue; he was practically grinding his teeth to dust.

"Damn it, what are you so smug about! You think you've got Taro now?" Heto abandoned his usual elegance once more, his anger breaking down: "I'm going to kill you all!"

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

So, what do you all think of this part of the story? It's the most original storyline to date.

Apart from the "little one" mentioned by Black Tor, which comes from the official novel "Tregear Tale", all the others were designed by me.

Doesn't it feel a bit like something out of the ordinary?
However, the personal storyline created for Tregear could not follow the normal path of an Ultra Warrior.
