Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 614, Section 610: The Most Abstract Monster—Like a Professional Player
Fujimiya arrived at the Tear Altar, and after being summoned, Renlong appeared.

Fujimiya earnestly questioned Renryu about the inconsistencies in the decisive battle a week prior, and Renryu also shared his information with Fujimiya.

The attitudes of Renlong and Hongsheshen towards humans have always been different.

After Qi Ming killed Dark Toregia for the second time, he wanted to celebrate with the Rainbow Serpent God but was ignored—which shows that the Rainbow Serpent God dislikes humans.

The Rainbow Serpent God felt that humans, who were oppressing the living space of Earth's monsters, should not be indulged in this way.

We should launch a head-on attack on humanity and wipe out 50% of the human race.

In this way, humans will respect the native monsters and dare not overstep the boundaries of nature again.

Renlong believes that this will only lead to a chain reaction of hatred. Humans and monsters are both life forms born from Earth, and we should be more tolerant of humans who are on the front lines fighting against the extraterrestrial attacks.

If Renlong is a dove, then Hongsheshen is a hawk.

However, Rainbow Serpent God's strength and seniority are inferior to Renlong's, which leads to more monsters obeying Renlong. As the second-in-command, it can't do much on a regular basis.

However, Renlong was unaware that Dark Toregia had used the "Great Power" to amplify the dark side of the Rainbow Serpent God during his lifetime.

Therefore, from Renlong's perspective, the Rainbow Serpent God probably harbored resentment for a long time and planned to take advantage of the opportunity seven days ago to have the "foreign forces" like Toregia severely damage the humans who were the first to suffer on the surface, which is why he launched a civil war to create obstacles.

Fujimiya was slightly lost in thought after hearing this. The Rainbow Serpent God's extreme thoughts were exactly the same as his past self.

Renlong stated that many native monsters actually share the same ideas as Rainbow Serpent God, so Renlong did not take drastic measures to avoid causing division.

It wanted to communicate with the Rainbow Serpent God, but found that it could not contact the other party at all.

Therefore, Renlong hopes that Fujimiya, who is recognized by the Light of Earth, can go and find the Rainbow Serpent God and have a serious talk with it.

“Okay.” Fujimiya nodded.

After Fujimiya agreed, Renryu introduced him to a friend.

Renlong said that although "they" did not completely trust humans, they still helped Renlong a lot.

The next moment, in Fujimiya's eyes, the surrounding environment changed drastically. He felt as if he were in an ocean world, and a girl who looked like a doll appeared in front of him.

"You are..." Fujimiya asked, knowing that the girl in front of him was not human, but rather a kind of mimicry.

The doll-like girl didn't speak, but communicated with Fujimiya telepathically: "Are you asking my name? We don't have names that represent the individual differences of each person."

Fujimiya: "Is that so? Then you..."

He was about to ask for more details when, in the next moment, the doll-like girl suddenly panicked: "Oh no... it's the Darkness of Destruction awakening from the ocean!"

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

Meanwhile, Kishida and Yamanaka of the GUTS team are investigating a strange incident outside.

An archaeological team was working in a valley in a mountain range yesterday, but when they returned the next day, the valley had turned into a lake.

The archaeological team reported the case to TPC and invited an expert named Hengfeng Wanxiang.

Before receiving the report, the person in the mountains was asking, "Are you sober?" But when they arrived at the location and saw the telephone poles protruding from the lake, they immediately asked, "Am I sober?"

After conducting his reconnaissance, Kishida frowned: "Something's not right. The salinity of this lake is too high; it's practically an ocean!"

In the mountains: "A sea? A sea appeared deep in the mountains?"

Kishida analyzed from a scientific perspective: "Perhaps ancient seawater or salt deposits buried deep in the strata of this area were fractured by recent geological activity, and high-pressure groundwater dissolved the salt layer and surged up along the cracks, flooding this area and forming a saltwater lake?"

In the mountains: "Let's ask the amazing Qi Ming first; he might know."

When the news reached the director's office, Qi Ming thought about it carefully and said, "It should be... 'The Ocean of Yamaguchi'."

The ocean at Yamaguchi, episode 5 of Ultraman Ake. The ability to salinize lake water into seawater is a monster's power.

It's strange, but I still remember the three great works of the Heisei era and the Showa era, which are decades old. However, I can't recall "Ake" at all, even though it was only recently released. I have to think about it for a while.

Perhaps... there are no enemies in "Ake" who can pose a threat to him.

"A monster?" The two were just wondering when the lake suddenly boiled and a huge head burst out of the water.

It was a huge monster with a massive head and whale-like features.

Kishida exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of monster is this! It looks so abstract!"

Qi Ming: "It's a four-eyed monster, it's a beast-faced stick guy... no, no, it's a giant whale water beast [Liviadra]."

This is probably the most popular unit monster in Arke – because it looks like a League of Legends pro player who "hasn't retired, but nobody wants him".

As soon as the giant whale-like creature emerged from the bottom of the lake, it sprayed a large amount of transparent liquid from its gills, which then sprayed the archaeologists who were stuck nearby.

When the archaeologists saw the monster appear, they scattered in panic... then they discovered that the transparent liquid was not corrosive or harmful, just a little salty.

It's spraying salt water!

"It's so salty! So this is what caused the excessive salt content in this lake!" Shan Zhong immediately retreated.

Although this round of saltwater spraying had no effect, it demonstrated an aggressive intent towards humans as soon as it appeared.

After the saltwater spray proved ineffective, the giant whale roared, opened its blood-red maw, and charged at the people on the shore.

Meanwhile, Fujimiya, who had left the Tear Altar with the doll-like girl and arrived in the outside world, saw the scene of the giant whale water beast going berserk through the live broadcast. Hesitantly, he asked the little girl, "The 'darkness of destruction in the ocean' you mentioned, it can't be this guy, can it?"

The doll-like girl shook her head desperately.

"Linked Mode, Dyna Submarine!"

Facing the giant whale-like creature, Kishida showed no mercy, piloting the Dyna submarine to engage in a fierce battle with it at the bottom of the lake.

Yamanaka: "It's a pity that my chariot is still a little short of being completed. No, my equipment is useless for naval warfare. By the way, Qiming, can Kishida handle it alone?"

Qi Ming: "Definitely."

The giant whale water monster is the weakest monster in the entire "Arc" series. Apart from having high defense, it can only charge and use high-pressure water guns.

It pushed Ake, who was not good at naval warfare, to the bottom of the lake where it was good at fighting, but it was still defeated by one-on-one combat...

Even among C-rank monsters, it's considered weak.

However, out of respect for the Star Gift Point, Qi Ming still had Hui Mei drive him there in the Dyna Wing.

When he arrived, the Dyna submarine at the bottom of the lake launched a [Explosive Missile], which struck the giant whale-like water beast.

Amidst the surging waves, the giant whale-like creature struggled a few times before collapsing with a thud, lifeless.

Single kill!

A green light rose from the bottom of the lake and was drawn into the Ultraman Any Key by Qi Ming, where it was converted into 1 point of Star Gift.

"All done, let's go." After finishing, Dyna Wings promptly headed home.

Outside the battlefield.

Meanwhile, on a cliff far from the battlefield, Professor Yokomine Bansho, who had been specially invited by the archaeological team, witnessed the entire process of the GUTS team defeating the monster.

Upon seeing this scene, a distinct chill appeared in his eyes.
