Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 251 247. Glowing Stone Statue in the Undersea Ruins

Qi Ming sat in the driver's seat of the dram car, carrying Himeya Jun, Aizen Makoto, and Fujimiya towards the Sound Die Coast.

On the way, he introduced the relevant situation.

"Some factories have been secretly discharging large amounts of industrial waste into the sea for a long time. Due to the influence of ocean currents, these wastes have gathered in the Yindi Sea area."

"Due to the influence of nitrogen and phosphorus from the waste, the microorganisms that are produced in large quantities absorb oxygen, turning the seabed into an oxygen-free space."

"The anaerobic bacteria took this opportunity to multiply in large numbers, and they combined to form the anaerobic sea beast [Cardan]."

Himeya Jun: "Is this a disaster brought upon humans themselves..."

As a reporter who had filmed on battlefields where blood and fire were intertwined, Jun Himeya was not surprised by this.

Qi Ming: "Yes, if the Earth is really turned into an oxygen-free planet by that monster, it will be a disaster for other creatures."

"In order to prevent that monster from subverting the Earth's ecological environment, we have no choice but to defeat it."

When Fujimiya with a gloomy face heard this, he couldn't help but recall what the black-clothed Fujimiya said last night.

"Humans are the cancer of the Earth. Their actions will not only backfire on themselves, but also bring catastrophic disasters to other creatures."

Has it begun to be fulfilled?
He said, "Defeat that monster to whitewash humanity's foolish behavior?"

Because of his inner turmoil, he did not tell anyone else what happened in the Black Vine Palace last night.

Qi Ming glanced at Fujimiya. He knew that this matter could touch Fujimiya's nerves.

He had been prepared for this and delivered a clear and logical rebuttal: "Let's put it this way. After all, the decision to emit pollutants was made by a few businessmen. They should be severely punished, rather than having ordinary people, who had nothing to do with them, pay the price for their bad behavior."

Fujimiya: "Can't we elevate individual behavior to the collective level?... If those 'common people' you're talking about become businesspeople and start dumping pollutants into the ocean for profit, that's just human nature."

Qi Ming: "Is this the view that human nature is evil? But whether human nature is good or evil, there are public order and good customs and laws and regulations to constrain human behavior."

"Humans will change, and I will advocate for countries to enact laws and regulations to crack down on this kind of behavior."

As the CEO of a large company, Aizen Makoto couldn't help but ask, "If it's just a proposal, it probably won't be of much use."

"Those company presidents will put on a show under pressure from public opinion, but once the storm passes, they'll do whatever they want."

Qi Ming smiled and said, "I don't expect to resolve this matter solely through public opinion. You all, watch out!"

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

At the same time, Tuan Moroboshi sent Kishida and Yamanaka to drive the Dolphin to attack the anaerobic life form that emitted the ball of light.

"So many glowing creatures...it seems we are very close to the enemy's lair."

After diving for thirty minutes, Kishida said as he looked at the many glowing marine creatures ahead.

Yamanaka asked, "Is there any basis for this?"

Kishida: "The ancestors of these bioluminescent creatures existed before there was oxygen on Earth. Oxygen is actually like poison to those creatures."

"The enzymes in their bodies combine with oxygen, destroying the oxygen, and due to the chemical reaction, light is produced."

"The light from bioluminescent organisms can be considered the remaining traces of the oxygen-free world of this era."

Yamanaka: "But the Earth now has oxygen. According to the laws of evolution, these anaerobic life forms are considered to be eliminated species."

Kishida nodded: "They are incompatible with the environment, so they want to forcibly transform the earth into an environment suitable for their survival. This will cause mass extinction of species and set the earth back tens of millions of years, so it must not be allowed."

Yamanaka: "That's right, let's defeat this guy who runs counter to Earth's development... Wait, what is that? It can't be an anaerobic organism."

Kishida: "Of course this isn't a living thing. It's a... stone statue."

A gigantic stone statue, shaped like a human, stood at the bottom of the ocean. Its form was even older than the ancients, its face untouched by the passage of time. Its eyes, hollow yet profound, gazed forward for millennia. Kishida and Yamanaka were astonished to see this. They had been looking for a monster, only to find such a massive stone statue.

Kishida tapped on the keyboard. "I've scanned it, and there's no sign of life. It's probably just a simple stone statue."

Yamanaka: "Who built the stone statue at the bottom of the sea?"

Kishida: "Perhaps it's the remains of an ancient city that sank to the bottom of the sea. I need to report this discovery to the captain and the others."

Soon, the news reached the Victory Team's command room and Qi Ming's PDI communicator.

Looking at the giant in the image, Qi Ming immediately reacted
This is from the [Ancient Poseidon] in the 34th episode of "Gauss" "The Wrath of Poseidon"!
This is an environmental preservation device placed on the seabed by an ancient civilization and is called the "Great Sea Guardian."

It will appear when it senses that the seabed is polluted and attack the civilization that pollutes the ocean.

Ocean pollution has already caused biological mutations and the emergence of oxygen-deprived sea beasts. So, wouldn't this Sea God also be...

"Boom!"

Yamanaka and Kishida on the Dolphin felt the seabed begin to tremble and the stone statue began to glow.

"The energy value of the stone statue is increasing!"

I saw a huge stone statue slowly rising from the seabed. It was about to leave the seabed and destroy human civilization.

Shanzhong exclaimed, "The stone statue has come alive! So this is what they call a 'living fossil'!"

The pollution of the ocean not only created the sea monster [Cardan], but also led to the emergence of this [ancient sea god].

"This is the evil consequence caused by human beings themselves..." Fujimiya's face became more and more ugly.

Qi Ming connected with Hui Mei: "Team member Hui Mei, you and Vice Captain Nishijo Nagi should go to the archaeological team excavating underwater ruins and ask them if they have found a 'very beautiful white conch'."

"If someone with a 'pure heart' embeds the conch into the 'Meteor Stone' on the Sound Flute Coast, the statue will cease its movement."

Huimei quickly said, "Got it, we'll go right away!"

Qi Ming finished speaking and looked at Fujimiya. "The ancient civilization that placed the stone statues didn't intend to exterminate them completely. They also created devices that could stop the statues, leaving some room for maneuver. This shows that they also believe that 'civilizations will change after learning a lesson.'"

Fujimiya was silent again, and Qi Ming looked at the stone statue rushing out of the seabed, thinking that this guy came at the right time.

He did not intend to destroy this lifeless stone statue that would not give star value, because this thing could be regarded as a "friendly unit."

With this thing, my plan will be more complete.

Himeya Jun asked: "Having a pure heart, does it mean someone with a pure, simple and kind heart? Who are you going to let release the conch?"

Qi Ming: "Mayumi, she's a nurse who saves lives and is willing to sacrifice herself for others. She definitely has a 'pure heart'."

As a result, when Qi Ming called to ask, he found out that Mayumi and her boyfriend Takuma had gone on vacation abroad and would not be able to come back for a while.

Aizen Makoto said, "I don't think there's any need to trouble outsiders. We're all sacred Ultra Warriors, fighting to protect the world and justice. We must possess a 'pure heart'. Why don't we just go and release it ourselves?"

Qi Ming: “…”

This kind of conflict of ideas is too difficult to write about.

If I write too much, the readers will be bored; if I write too little, it won’t be profound enough. After more than ten hours of hard work, I have only managed to come up with this little.

Let me calm down and try to reach 10,000 a day tomorrow.

Please scroll down and I will give you a chapter with easter eggs as compensation.
