Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 600, Section 596: Qi Ming: I can transform into dozens of Ultraman and monsters.
The Hellmon Enma Beast [Seggu] originates from the Ultraman X movie, "Here Comes Our Ultraman!"

If Greeza from the ending of Ultraman X was a monster with mechanics, then [Seggu] is a monster with pure stats.

In the original series, it lashed out at X's Beyond form's finishing move with a single tail lash, and then instantly disintegrated Beyond form X with a single [Blood Flood].

This move has an extremely disgusting side effect: it can destroy and corrode the transformation device.

"No wonder they used the power of the Eternal Core to seal it... This monster is too strong."

"Oh no, Ultraman glasses!"

Dan Moroboshi took out his Ultra Glasses and found that they were corroded by red rust. Makoto Aizen also quickly took out his Revolving Flash and found that it was in the same bad condition as the Ultra Glasses.

Their transformation devices, like the X-Terminal in the original series, were corroded and became "blank slates".

"Oh no, I can't use it anymore! Has our transformation device been destroyed?!"

"It will take quite a while to fix it."

The next moment, Seggu suddenly spewed out a thick, blood-red light, instantly eroding and dissolving the surrounding earth, turning it into a deep red pool of blood.

It sank into the pool of blood, left the place, and chased after its target.

"Thank goodness, they didn't keep chasing us, otherwise we would have been in danger since we couldn't transform..." Aizen Makoto breathed a sigh of relief; it was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

The next moment, three aliens emerged from the bushes nearby.

The clone aliens [Gats Alien], the dark aliens [Shapre Alien], the hybrid aliens... oh no, I mean the dark aliens [Babar Alien].

These three types of aliens are infamous throughout the universe, and most of their members are warlike and bloodthirsty.

Dark Tregear, anticipating the possibility that Seggu might not be able to exterminate them all, secretly spread the message that "a powerful treasure has been born here," luring confident aliens to this place.

The purpose is to finish off the enemy.

Dan Moroboshi's heart sank. These guys must have heard what Makoto Aizen just said.

Encountering these three aliens under these circumstances is absolutely terrible...

However, the three aliens who theoretically held an absolute advantage and had encountered a great opportunity were first taken aback, and then showed even more fear than the others, their legs trembling as they retreated.

"This is outrageous! These so-called Warriors of Light are so heartless. They're faking serious injuries to lure people in again!"

"The news that a powerful treasure was buried here must have been spread by their people!"

"Do we have to do this every month? Are we being treated like wild monsters for a daily sweep?"

"Don't say they can't transform, even if they can't breathe, it has nothing to do with us. We're really just passing by."

"We can't see it, we can't see it, we can't see anything!"

The three vicious aliens' expressions changed drastically upon seeing the two severely injured individuals, and they fled as if avoiding a venomous snake.

Aizen Makoto: "Huh?"

Dan Moroboshi understood: "They think we're faking our injuries, creating a false impression like we did a month ago, to give those scheming aliens the impression that they can take advantage of us."

Aizen Makoto understood and immediately wanted to "play a trick".

He shouted to the three fleeing aliens, "We're not lying to you, we really can't get up anymore, our bodies are completely broken!"

Upon hearing this, the Babar alien running at the back was so frightened that he tripped and fell face-first into the mud.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to lure us in like that? Are you using us to boost your sales figures?" He scrambled to his feet and fled into the distance without looking back.

He was terrified that an alien killing machine might suddenly jump out from the shadows, claiming that his glance back indicated ill intentions and a desire for death, and then kill him outright.

This is one of the few pieces of good news right now.

Although Dark Tregear kept the Earth monsters tied up, preventing them from reinforcing other battlefields.

However, the operation to lure the enemy out of hiding, which lasted for more than a month, left a heavy psychological shadow on the lurking aliens, making them afraid to come out and take advantage of the chaos.

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

Meanwhile, the battle on Qi Ming's side was also about to end.

Even when facing two opponents, the battle dragged on for a long time, and he fought with great composure.

He repeatedly kicked Ula away like a sandbag, and always managed to dodge the artillery fire and the giant axe swinging down from Galatlon MK2, seizing the gaps in his opponent's defenses to launch a counterattack.

But the results are minimal.

However, the opponent's defense was simply too high.

He slashed Galactron MK2 dozens of times and fired three ultimate attacks. Even Eternal Shining Triga was in critical condition due to excessive energy consumption. It's unclear whether the enemy's casualty rate was even 10%.

So, after a struggle, it successfully lured Ura towards Galatlon MK2, causing it to devour the latter.

"You two settle this once and for all, and the survivor can fight me," Qi Ming said, wanting to make the two formidable enemies kill each other.

If Galactron MK2's data cannon can banish Ura into the data space, then it would be like getting rid of a troublesome person for him.

If they can't exile them... let Ura hold off Galatlon MK2 and give him time to regroup.

"Boom boom boom..." Galactron MK2 and Ura fought a fierce battle to the edge of the city, and the roadbed was worn away.

The ground beneath their feet could not withstand the weight and collapsed with a crash, causing the two figures to fall into the ground, but deafening roars continued to emanate from underground.

"The tremor was so strong, it must have felt like a magnitude 6 or 7 earthquake. But I'm used to it." Qi Ming took out his communicator, ready to call for backup.

When he received messages from other people, his face froze.

Fujimiya and Aizen Makoto probably can't come to help, because they're also counting on me to help...

Their situation seems even more dire than mine.

Team leader Moroboshi and President Aizen Makoto were defeated by Segaku, and their transformation devices were destroyed, so they cannot transform for a short period of time.

"After taking the golden stone, Seggu broke free of the seal... The golden stone?"

Qi Ming remembered that in the original series, it was the original Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga who sealed Seggu together.

Then Tiga left behind a stone statue, and the First Generation left behind a blue stone, which were then sealed together.

As a result, in this hybrid universe, what sealed Seggu became a golden stone containing eternal core energy.
"I wonder who defeated the sealed Seggu in this hybrid universe, took the power of the Eternal Core, and is still allowed to keep it? How did they do that? I really want to learn..."

Although the sealed artifact has changed, Carlos Kurosaki, who has broken the seal, is just as powerful as in the original series.

In the original series, this guy ignored all advice and allowed Seggu to break free of the seal, which wasn't enough.

Later, the XIO members explained the seriousness of the situation and asked him to return it, but he replied, "I have complete faith in XIO's fighting ability. Even if a monster comes, you can handle it."

In order to protect Qing Shi, he and his assistant got into a fight with the XIO team members...

Dealing with this tough nut to crack is beyond the capabilities of Fengyuan and his group; we need to find a professional.

"Get that golden stone back, quickly, by any means necessary." He handed the task over to Minister Yin.

Minister Yoon was a ruthless man in the original drama who directly assassinated Captain Kiriyama, and he believed that the other party would handle this matter efficiently.

"Um... Team member Qi Ming, this is Tian Rui. We've met before. Could you come here for a moment?"

At this moment, Gaia's three reporters walked over, their expressions towards Qi Ming very strange.

There was awe, amazement, and disbelief; it was as if I were getting to know him all over again.

what happened?

Qi Ming realized that they had something important to say to him privately, so he told Feng Yuan to go back to the base to rest first.

"What's wrong?" Qi Ming asked after following the three reporters to a secluded corner. "Well, I accidentally filmed you while I was filming Ultraman Leo fighting the monster," photographer Lun Wen stammered, showing Qi Ming the footage he had just taken.

On the screen, Qi Ming rushed against the flow of fleeing people towards Ula, while simultaneously slapping the watch face to transform into Triga.

Qi Ming: “!”

Sure enough, if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

The day has finally come.

Ula was about to devour Fengyuan, and in that emergency, he didn't pay much attention to his surroundings.

Tian Rui asked cautiously, "So, is this really true?"

Even now, he still finds it hard to believe that humans have turned into Ultraman.

After a moment of silence, Qi Ming smiled and said, "Haven't you all seen it?"

Suddenly, Lingzi walked over, holding her phone and looking surprised.

"Team member Qi Ming, something's wrong."

“A female reporter named ‘Junko Samejima’ has posted a video online accusing you, saying that she has exposed your evil true nature.”

Qi Ming frowned: "Junko Samejima, that female reporter who escaped from prison?"

He took the phone from Lingzi and opened the video.

With her face flushed and swollen, Junko Samejima faced the camera and quickly said:

"Everyone, I'm risking my life to release this video to you! Because I've discovered the true colors of Qi Ming, who's been hailed as a hero, and TPC!"

"That so-called TPC ace, Qi Ming, is actually a beast in human form!"

"See my face? That's where she hit me, and that's not even the worst thing!"

At this moment, the video showed Qi Ming killing the boy that the Zelang alien was mimicking.

Furthermore, the scene where the Zelang aliens reveal their true forms was not shown.

"No matter how dazzling his public image is, the fact that he can harm children in private goes beyond just 'cruelty'!"

"But that's his true nature, because he's a demon in human skin, a monster born evil!"

Next, the video showed Qi Ming slapping the watch face, transforming into a monster chieftain.

"Look! This Qi Ming can turn into a monster!"

"Don't be fooled anymore! That Qi Ming is not a hero at all; he's a bloodthirsty monster and an enemy of humanity!"

“I don’t believe his teammates on the winning team didn’t know about this. They must have known perfectly well and were covering for him.”

"TPC has become a puppet of the monsters, expanding its power in the name of protecting humanity. When the time is right, it will enslave all of humanity!"

Qi Ming did not fly into a rage after reading it. His expression remained calm as he stroked his chin and pondered quietly.

"I can now roughly guess who rescued Samejima Junko from prison—it was Dark Tregear."

“Junko Samejima is not smart enough to say such things; Tregear taught her to say them.”

"Because I caused him to 'fail three times,' does he also want to ruin my reputation?"

"No, that's not right. Right now, there are big troubles like Ura, Galactron MK2, and Segugu active on Earth. To do this at this critical juncture... is it an attempt to blind people with darkness?"

Qi Ming scrolled through the comments section and found that it had exploded.

"What?! This person is a monster? He kills children without warning? Is this our hero? TPC demands an explanation!"

"What's there to explain? Didn't you hear what she said? TPC might have turned into a monster's den!"

"Monsters disguise themselves as humans and lurk, like the Shin GUTS team that Tsuchihashi Yu worked on before his death."

"I'm so shocked, I can't accept it. Could there be something wrong with the video?"

“Videos are not pictures, and they can’t be photoshopped. Even the U.S. intelligence agencies can’t fake something that’s absolutely real.”

"Can't fake it? I think you don't understand the basic principles of video."

"Qi Ming is a cruel monster... You're not kidding, are you? If it's true, then I don't know what else I can believe in."

"They've been lying to us for so long! Kill this evil monster and avenge the children!"

This comment section is just a microcosm; the news that "Qi Ming is a monster" is spreading rapidly and will shake the world.

Qi Ming knew that it was precisely at times like these that he needed to remain calm; losing his composure would only play into Torregia's hands.

Tian Rui looked at Qi Ming and said seriously:
"Team member Qi Ming, I don't believe you are the evil monster described in the video."

"I have interviewed many people and seen too many appearances that are hard to distinguish from the truth."

"But in every interaction with you, I can truly feel that you are an upright person at heart, and the sense of justice you exude is by no means a pretense."

Qi Ming nodded: "Thank you for your trust. This video does indeed have a problem."

Lingzi: "Yeah, Qi Ming, you're clearly Ultraman, how can you be a monster? But why are you killing children?"

Qi Ming asked, "Is this considered an interview?"

Tian Rui: "Yes!"

Lunwen immediately pointed the camera at Qi Ming.

Qi Ming explained, "The child I killed was an alien in disguise. He revealed his true form shortly after he died."

“My teammate Fengyuan, the kindergarten teachers and children all saw it, and the kindergarten’s surveillance cameras also captured it.”

Reiko asked, "But these subsequent scenes are completely absent from the video released by Samejima Junko. Is this malicious editing, deliberately taking things out of context?"

Qi Ming: "Yes, they came for me."

Reiko: "Then that video of you turning into a monster?"

Qi Ming: "That's not a problem."

Reiko: "You really can turn into a monster!"

Qi Ming: "Not all monsters are enemies. Many native monsters stand on the same side as us humans, as partners in fighting against alien invaders."

Reiko realized something and became even more shocked: "You mean you can not only become Ultraman Triga, but also that feathered monster?"

Qi Ming: "Not only that, I can transform into a total of sixty-four Ultraman and monsters."

Since we've revealed the truth, let's just tell it all.

These words shocked the three of them once again.

"You...you are truly multi-talented..."

Qi Ming: "Having many skills is never a bad thing."

Tian Rui asked, "Since this video, which takes things out of context and smears you as an evil monster, is part of the enemy's propaganda offensive,..."

"Should we release your interview and the video of you transforming into Ultraman to counter this?"

Qi Ming thought for a moment and nodded: "Publish it. People have the right to know the truth."
