Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 101 97. Shadow of the Sky, Light of the Earth

Qi Ming, who knew the direction of the original drama, was not as optimistic as others, and he remained vigilant.

In the original drama, in addition to the alien Metron, there are also the moth monster [Dragelli] and the fish monster [Muluchi] who want to sabotage the missile launch.

The aliens died, but the monsters and ultra monsters remained calm.

"It's like the Yabo guy has a 'full map view' turned on. He can see every little move of the humans clearly. The trick of luring the snake out of its hole probably won't work on him."

"When the real missile is about to be launched, it will definitely send super beasts."

"And there's 'Muluchi'. He's a brutal creature, and probably isn't one of Renlong's subordinates. We'll just kill him when the time comes."

"Now that his fiancée in the mountains is alive, he shouldn't go crazy, right?"

Qi Ming remembered that in the eighth episode "The Fate of the Sun and the Fate of Ace", in order to repel the enemy, Ultraman Ace released the Ultra Barrier at the cost of almost draining Nan Xizi's vitality, and imprisoned the Ultra Beasts and Metron.

In order to seek revenge, Yamanaka ignored the captain's orders and opened fire, knocking the Metron out of the barrier...

"There's a planet-destroying crisis this time, and it's a serious matter. I feel it's safer to exclude Yamanaka."

Thinking of this, Qi Ming found Zhu Xingtuan and suggested giving Shanzhong a vacation so that he could spend time with his fiancée.

Shanzhong was unwilling to escape from the battlefield. He was very puzzled. Qi Ming had just saved his fiancée, so why was he targeting him now?

Shan Zhong: "Team member Qi Ming, why did you exclude me? How did I offend you?!"

Qi Ming: "Everything about you."

Yamanaka: “What!”

He Zhi saw this scene and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Is Qi Ming bullying the other team members?"

Minister Yin, who was following him, said: "That makes sense. The strong should humiliate the weak."

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

Zhu Xingtuan did not agree with Qi Ming's suggestion, saying that he should trust his teammates, think more about others, and take care of the image of the mountain.

At this time, Huimei, who was sitting in front of the main computer, said, "News from the Delta Space Station. New celestial data has arrived."

Kishida observed it and said, "The gas composition is hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, and helium. The center has a mass the size of an asteroid, but the exact composition is currently unknown."

Nishijo Nagi: "It's an asteroid-sized mass, sounds about the same as the demon star Koala. What's the direction of travel?"

Huimei: "If we continue along this route, we will pass through the Earth's orbit within thirty-six hours."

Qi Ming was alert: "Is it approaching the Earth at about the same time as the demon star Koala?"

Huimei: "It's just orbiting, it won't directly hit the Earth like the demon star Koala. So far, there's no direct impact."

Yamanaka: "It seems there's no need to be particularly vigilant."

Qi Ming still frowned.

Seeing this, Kishida comforted him: "Don't worry, Captain Qi Ming, it's just a coincidence."

"There are quite a few planets like this that pass through Earth's orbit. You've probably heard of the most famous one, Halley's Comet."

"What we need to do now is to fight the 'Demon Star Koala' with all our strength. There's no need to pay attention to things like this."

Qi Ming: "Coincidence?... Something doesn't seem right."

Yamanaka: "Come on, I think you are just being overly sensitive."

Qi Ming pondered for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Hui Mei, why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"

Although Huimei has always been stealing glances at him intentionally or unintentionally since he joined the team, the frequency has been increasing recently.

Maybe he has become somewhat aware of his own identity... This won't do.

"Oh... no, I was just lost in thought." Huimei waved her hands.

Yamanaka: "Are you fascinated by Qi Ming's face? What are you thinking about?" At this moment, Huimei really hopes that Qi Ming will punch Yamanaka.

She coughed and said, "No, I was thinking about the gossip coming out of the defense forces."

Huimei said that the defense forces have recently been developing "underground penetrating missiles" in order to take the initiative to attack the monsters sleeping underground.

Qi Ming: "I've heard this news too. I don't know how far along it is. Maybe the folder has just been created."

In the original Gaia series, this thing is pretty notorious.

In this world, he certainly would not allow such internal friction.

Once there is news that the defense forces are preparing to launch missiles, he will notify Aizen Makoto in advance and ask him to lead the innocent underground monsters back to the Kabushige Islands and make a big fuss at the same time.

He wouldn't be torn between the dying Tigulis and humans like in my dream. When the defense forces were damaged, he would just open champagne.

Emi: "No, the defense forces have been detecting places in Japan where monsters may appear based on abnormal phenomena."

"That information is within the Defense Force, and only a very small number of people are allowed to access it."

"But in recent days, hackers have broken into the Defense Forces' computers and accessed this information."

Nishijo Nagi: "You didn't do it, did you?"

Huimei has a history of this.

Huimei: "It's not me. I just heard the news."

Yamanaka: "It sounds like a rumor. Could it be that a hacker who's a monster enthusiast broke into the Defense Force's mainframe and obtained this confidential information in order to find a dormant monster to play with?"

Find the sleeping monster...

After hearing this, Qi Ming felt more and more that things were not that simple.

"Should we inform Renlong in advance? But because the dragon veins are shrinking, the Earth monsters need to conserve their strength and can't attack easily..."

Qi Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Why not kill Shan Zhong and offer sacrifice to the heavens, and pray to the gods for peace."

Huimei: "I agree."

Yamanaka almost peed himself again: "Hey, you guys!"

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

Soon, the day of the missile launch arrived.

The super missile delivered by TLT was placed on the launch pad and was about to be launched in less than half an hour.

"Bang!" At this moment, the earth cracked again, and a huge monster emerged from the ground.

Qi Ming, who was on high alert at the scene, was startled and immediately turned the dial to prepare for attack.

I knew the launch process would not be so smooth. Who will take the lead, Mothmon or Giant Fish Monster?

Soon, the dust settled and a chubby figure appeared, leaving Qi Ming stunned.

The one coming is not Mothmon, nor the giant fish monster, but [Zhongnaier] who appeared in the 17th episode of "Gaia"!
The shell on its back stores enormous energy like a "mini sun", which is the "Light of the Earth" in the title of that episode "Shadow of the Sky, Light of the Earth".

and many more……

The light of the earth has appeared, so the shadow of the sky must be...

At this time, the Victory Team Command Room received an urgent communication.

"Delta Space Station has sent an urgent message. The second celestial body outside the demon planet Koala has changed its orbit and is flying directly towards Earth!"

This is [Shadow of the Sky]!
Staff Officer He Zhi was shocked upon hearing the news: "Two asteroid-sized objects are about to collide with Earth at the same time? And we only have one super missile!"
