Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 49 48. Eternal Core
Qi Ming and Abbas walked in the abandoned factory littered with corpses, observing whether there were any Crow People who were still alive and communicating with each other.

At this moment, Abbas seemed to be accompanying a high-ranking leader who had come down from above for an inspection. He was walking on thin ice and dared not even breathe.

It kept telling itself that the terrifyingly strong human being next to it was not its enemy, and there was no life-and-death struggle between them.

"In the universe, there is a legend about this planet whose origin cannot be verified."

"Legend has it that this planet is the 'singularity' of the universe."

"There is a force that created our universe, with the Earth as its center."

"And that powerful force may still be on Earth. If someone can obtain it, they will have the power to destroy and reshape dimensions at will."

After hearing this, Qi Ming fell into deep thought.

This description sounds too much like the Eternal Core in Ultraman Triga.

This thing does have dimensional-level power, but it is extremely unstable. It is easy for villains to use, but it has a lot of limitations and side effects when used by heroes.

Slow!

As his thoughts fluctuated, Qi Ming's body trembled violently.

An extremely shocking yet very reasonable guess formed in his mind.

He had heard that the Eternal Core created the universe of Triga after browsing the memories of Shizuma Mitsukuni.

What if a hardcore Ultraman fan's memory, similar to that of "Chrono Trilogy," was browsed by the Eternal Core and used to open up the universe...

Is this how this "gathering of stars" and "hodgepodge" universe was born?

If the speculation is true, then the person that the Eternal Core is looking at must have a very dark heart, which is why "insects are rampant" in this world.

Yamanaka, He Zhi, Tsuchihashi Yu, Aihara Ryu, Hirikawa... Is that person a necrophiliac?

Qi Ming: "So, the reason why all sorts of aliens invade Earth is that they want to occupy this planet so they can find this 'power to reopen the universe'?"

Abbas: "Not all races believe this. I've heard that aliens with friendly intentions have passed through here in the past, but they were annihilated by you as soon as they said hello."

It's about Tsuchihashi Yuu giving the order to open fire and annihilating the V99 fleet.

No wonder all the people who come here are vicious invading aliens, because the friendly aliens think that this place is a barbaric place where communication is impossible.

"Swoosh..." At this time, a roar came from the distance. Qi Ming could hear that it was the sound of the Feiyan II's wings cutting through the air.

The Victory Team, which had been delayed for a while by Chief of Staff Gondo, was finally arriving.

Abbas also knew that he had to leave, and he told Qi Ming a "big secret" before leaving.

"I'm not the only one who came to Earth from the planet Standel. Another race has also sent people here. Their purpose is the same as mine: to recruit soldiers."

Qi Ming: "It's the 'Redel' that's suitable for activities in the light, right? I know."

Abbas: “!”

How do you know this!
Qi Ming understood the other party's thoughts: "As long as I am still here, no alien can take the earthlings away as slaves, but where is he?"

TPC has camera connections all over Japan, but Redel is nowhere to be found.

Abbas: "Six days ago, he had a conflict with me one night, drove me away, and has not appeared since."

Seeing that Qi Ming understood what he meant, he left the Earth with peace of mind. He no longer had to deal with the tough issue of Earth where Qi Ming was stationed, and was ready to bully the Crow People.

Looking at his departing back, Qi Ming couldn't help but reveal a strange smile.

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

"Is this hell? It's so scary."

The members of the Victory Team who got off the plane were shocked by the scene before them.

The abandoned factory was reduced to rubble and devastation. The bodies of the Crow People lay scattered before him, their deaths horrific. "All dead..." Even Zhu Xingtuan was horrified.

Huimei: "Was it Team Qi Ming who did it?"

Yamanaka: "Besides him, who else would have such a cruel method?"

They didn't know Nova and just thought that Qi Ming killed all the aliens alone.

In the past, no one would have believed that humans could accomplish this alone.

Is it possible for a human to break into a dangerous place where many cruel aliens gather alone and kill them all?

But during this period, Qi Ming challenged the impossible time and time again, raising their "thinking threshold", making them gradually numb and starting to accept the impossible.

"Bang..." At this time, footsteps were heard from the front.

"Attention!" Saijo Nagi shouted, and several people in the mountains immediately took shooting stances.

"Don't be nervous, it's over." Qi Ming's voice came out.

He was seen carrying five heavy-looking metal boxes in each hand and walking out very steadily.

"Team member Qi Ming." Huimei put away the gun.

"Sorry, I was delayed for a while and am late." Zhu Xingtuan came forward with a cane.

"It's okay, everything is fine now." Qi Ming subconsciously glanced at Nishijo Nagi.

If the Victory Team had arrived on time to join the battle, Nishijo Nagi would probably have indiscriminately opened fire on herself in the form of Nova.

Saijo Nagi: "Those space people?"

Qi Ming put the box down: "Those who died died, and those who escaped escaped. All those who were shrunk are in here, including the Umeda brothers and sisters you care about."

He took out a shrinking ray gun and gave it to Kishida, asking him to find a way to analyze it and turn these people back.

In "Ultraman Jack", Kishida always makes some inventions, and his counterpart in this Victory Team's ecological niche is Horii.

"Okay." Kishida took it subconsciously, with a hint of awe in his eyes.

This guy really managed to solve the problem of the aliens who had been causing them so much trouble for so many days by himself in such a short time.

"This is simply Superman." Shan Zhong muttered softly, and at the same time expressed his true feelings.

"You guys take care of it, I'm going to take a break over there."

Qi Ming asked them to clean up the battlefield, and he ran to the side to figure out what happened to the missing star gift.

Even Yamanaka, who always loves to find fault, wouldn't accuse him of being lazy in this scenario.

Qi Ming found a secluded place, fiddled with it for a while, recalled his experiences of the past few days, and came to a guess.

"Could it be that any Ultraman key can only hold a maximum of ten Star Gifts, and once that limit is reached, it won't increase any further?"

It’s actually very simple to verify this guess.

Qi Ming looked at the time on his watch. It was exactly 8:30 in the evening.

He converted the life energy of the dead alien into star gift three minutes ago, at 8:27.

He is now performing "Star Gathering". If a little Star Gift is added at 8:30 pm three days later, it means that any key is in an overflowing state at this time.

"Come on! I hope to draw a powerful being who can travel through time and space!"

Thinking of this, Qi Ming pressed the button and started his second "Star Gathering".
