Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 595, Section 591: The Aurora that Foretells Destruction, A Story of a Distant Planet

The Monster Chief [Geronimon] is a god-level support monster who, given enough time, can even revive sixty monsters at once.

Reviving the recently deceased Tigris is not difficult.

After witnessing this, both Little Moonlight, who was sent there, and Rainbow Serpent God behind the scenes were completely bewildered.

But Qi Ming remained calm, first ordering Tiguris to retreat, and then finishing off Pruma, who had fallen to the side.

A green light was absorbed into Ultraman's random key and converted into 1 point of star gift.

Maximum amplification: 64/80.
Star Gift: 15.
On the other side, Leo is engaged in a fierce battle with Kozuki, but his aerial combat skills are clearly mediocre, and he is no match for her in some situations.

Qi Ming immediately switched his attention to help, and the numerous feathers on the tail of the monster chieftain [Geronimon] were launched out, chasing after Little Moonlight under Qi Ming's control.

These feathers are not only extremely penetrating but also poisonous, making them the signature move of the monster chieftain Geronimon.

Over here, a fierce two-on-one battle is raging.

From the bushes not far away, two pairs of eyes had already taken in everything that had just happened.

It was Junko Samejima and Dark Tregear who were lurking here.

Just as Junko Samejima was brought there by Tregear, she "coincidentally" witnessed Qi Ming "killing a child," and was instantly terrified.

She originally thought that Qi Ming's violent enforcement of the law and beating of her was bad enough.

I never imagined that this person would be so heartless as to kill a seemingly well-behaved boy!
In private, he was so cruel, terrifying, and inhuman... No, he was no longer human!

"Want to know why? Read on."

Just as the alien was about to reveal its true form, Dark Tregear swiftly took Junko Samejima away to another observation point and set up a concealment barrier.

Then, Junko saw Qi Ming slap the watch face and transform into a monster chieftain.

At this moment, she was completely terrified.

"He...he...he turned into a monster! He really isn't human anymore!"

"So he wasn't a beast in human form after all, but a real monster!"

"A monster has infiltrated TPC... No, TPC might know about this!"

"Maybe TPC is now full of monster puppets! That's why they dare to treat ordinary citizens like me like this!"

Junko Samejima grew increasingly alarmed as she thought about it, her face turning deathly pale.

“Go, expose this ugly truth to the world.” Dark Torregia said solemnly, “After all, there is freedom of the press.”

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

Qi Ming did not kill Xiao Yueguang. After he and Leo worked together to defeat her, he let her escape.

The sudden civil war between Earth's monsters, and their immediate and deadly attacks, raised suspicions and made him wary.

He planned to contact the Ren Dragon underground first to find out the details before making a decision.

But he didn't know that time was running out.

The civil war among Earth's monsters was just the first domino to fall, the beginning of collapse.

An even more terrifying catastrophe is brewing around the world, and a relentless wave of terror is rapidly approaching with overwhelming force.

As soon as the two reverted to their original forms, their PDI communicators simultaneously rang.

"Qi Ming, Feng Yuan, where are you!" Zhu Xingdan's voice was unusually urgent.

Qi Ming: "What happened?"

Dan Moroboshi: "The female reporter Junko Samejima who was arrested is gone; she escaped."

Qi Ming was taken aback: "They escaped from prison? How did they escape?"

Following the incident where Mizoroki Shinya attacked Emi, at his repeated requests, Hikari, Torregia, and Agamous have taken turns strengthening the base's security system several times.

It's impossible for an ordinary person to escape from prison.

Dan Moroboshi: "I don't know, but there's no time to investigate these things now."

"A dozen... no, dozens of abnormal fluctuation signals are located all over the world, and they are very likely all monsters!"

It is the Rainbow Serpent God who is awakening the monster army it can command, preparing for a full-scale civil war.

If it weren't for Qi Ming's "miracle" in reviving Tiguris, which intimidated the Rainbow Serpent God and made it decide to wait and see, it would have been a different story.

This time, it's not just a matter of dozens of abnormal fluctuation signals, but dozens of monsters wreaking havoc and destroying cities across the land.

Dan Moroboshi: "Besides that, something else is approaching Earth from space."

"Even sending out all our men now isn't enough; you all need to go quickly."

"Okay." The two responded and closed the communication.

"I'm sorry, Toru. I promised to play with you today." Fengyuan patted Umeda Toru's head.

“It’s okay, Fengyuan-nii. Your work is more important. Only you can save more people,” Umeda Toru said, showing great understanding.

"I'll come and have some fun with you after I'm done with my work," Feng Yuan said before setting off with Qi Ming.

Qi Ming and Feng Yuan split up and acted separately.

Qi Ming arrived at Kobe Port and just then saw a purple "meteorite" fall from the sky and land in the sea.

"Bang!" A giant wave tens of meters high surged up, and turbid foam and eerie purple energy intertwined and spread in the seawater.

Then, a rainbow-colored aurora rose from the "meteorite" landing site and spread outwards.

Qi Ming's expression changed upon seeing this. He knew what this omen meant.

"Has the final enemy of Ultraman Taiga arrived...?"

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

Meanwhile, Fengyuan arrived at a location that was emitting an abnormal signal.

Just as he was about to take out the instrument to conduct the detection, he was caught off guard and felt a dull pain in the back of his head.

Someone attacked him from behind.

His vision distorted instantly, and his consciousness sank into darkness in a flash—Feng Yuan was knocked unconscious.

When he woke up, he found himself in a dimly lit factory, tied to a pillar.

Am I... being kidnapped?
"Sorry, I went a little too far." At that moment, a man wearing sunglasses, white shirt and black pants, with a red armband, appeared in front of him.

"He even apologized... Who are you, and why did you kidnap me!" Feng Yuan struggled for a moment, only to suddenly realize that his Leo ring was gone!
"You're looking for this, right? I'll keep it for now. It would be troublesome if you used it now." The man in sunglasses took out a ring.

It's Leo's ring!

"You..." Seeing his transformation device being taken away, Feng Yuan struggled violently.

The man in sunglasses abruptly spoke up: "First question, what do you think would happen if you possessed a giant weapon?"

Feng Yuan was stunned; the sudden jump in the topic left him completely bewildered.

Ignoring his astonishment, the man in sunglasses pressed on: "Second question, do you think you can control this weapon?"

Feng Yuan: "What are you talking about? Are you saying Leo is a weapon?! Don't be ridiculous!"

The man in sunglasses introduced himself, his tone slightly softening: "My name is Irude. I'm sorry, but I can't let you disrupt my plans until 'that guy' shows up."

Feng Yuan was completely confused: "That guy?"

Ilude: "Very well, you have the right to know. I'll tell you a legend about a distant planet."

"Long, long ago, in the vast Milky Way galaxy, there was a planet that was constantly attacked by monsters. The people there kept searching for ways to protect themselves."

"One day, a scientist traveling through this area created a powerful defensive machine that could fight against monsters."

People were moved to tears and revered it as a guardian deity.

"Upon learning the news, people on other planets also longed to have such a guardian deity."

"In order to safeguard peace, scientists have been creating one guardian after another."

"With the monster vanquished and peace restored to the galaxy, the scientists embarked on a new journey with satisfaction."

Feng Yuan: "Isn't this great?"

But judging from Ilud's tone, this doesn't seem to be a simple "story".

Irud continued:

"The story continues; a hundred years later, the scientist returned there."

"What the scientists saw was a scene of out-of-control guardian spirits fighting each other."

"And planets that have been completely destroyed and turned into ruins."

"The power that was supposed to be used to protect the planet instead led to its destruction."

"The grief-stricken scientist, in order to prevent the tragedy from repeating itself, embarked on a journey alone to find all the guardian spirits and seal them all back."

"So, don't get in my way until I retrieve that guy."

Feng Yuan suddenly realized: "'That guy'? You mean, there are also those 'guardian deities' on Earth?"

Ilud's expression turned solemn: "The guardian spirit is called 'Mechanical Delos,' and one of them is on Earth!"

Feng Yuan continued to struggle: "Then you shouldn't have kidnapped me! I'm going to fight to protect the peace of this planet!"

Ilud flatly refused: "No, you, who can transform into Ultraman Leo, are also extremely dangerous!"

Feng Yuan gritted his teeth inwardly. He felt that there was something wrong with Ilude's logic, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Oh, right, the PDI communicator...

I haven't reported for so long, the Victory team will surely know I'm in trouble and will come to my rescue!
But Ilud saw through his thoughts: "You want to find someone to save you? Impossible. I said I won't let anyone get in my way."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the factory.

Ilud's eyes sharpened, and he moved as lightly as a cat to the back of the door.

The door was pushed open, and Qi Ming walked in—Feng Yuan's disappearance had indeed caught his attention.

Ilud didn't give the other person a chance to speak, and slammed his elbow down on the back of the person's head with a gust of wind.

With a muffled thud, Qi Ming, who had just entered the room, fell straight forward, seemingly stunned by the elbow.

Ilude's gaze suddenly fell on his right wrist; Qi Ming's Ultraman random button caught his attention.

This guy also has "dangerous power" and needs to be controlled.

He bent down to try and remove the Ultraman Anywhere button from Qi Ming's right wrist. However, no matter how hard he pulled, even using sharp tools, it was to no avail.

“Not bad, it seems the binding effect of any key is really strong, I can rest assured now.” Suddenly, Qi Ming, who was “unconscious”, spoke up.

Ilud was shocked—this guy wasn't knocked unconscious; he was faking it!

Before he could react, he was hit squarely on the back of the head—Qi Ming used even more force than when he knocked Feng Yuan unconscious.
