Chapter 118: The Ultraman King steps in to reshape Qu, Qu saying
Qu's loud and fawning oath echoed in the sky.
As soon as it finished speaking,
Its massive flesh nest immediately writhed close to the ground,
Dozens of thick tentacles extended out as gently as possible.
It passed over the several clumps of pale maggots writhing in the filth,
It cautiously approached the innocent humans bound in the ruins by the Animal Protection Association,
The tips of the tentacles split into soft suckers,
gently patting the dust-covered shoulders of the survivors.
"It's all right, it's all right, human friends."
Qu's gruesome mouthparts struggled to squeeze out a twist it thought was kind,
"Those evil aliens trying to exterminate you have all been salvaged by my great Qu."
"Put your hearts at ease; from now on, I am your loyal hound and eternal friend!"
Facing this terrifying worm nest covered in compound eyes and as large as a mountain,
The surviving humans trembled, not daring to even breathe.
At this moment, all realms were utterly stunned.
The Star Human Federation's flagship, the Fearless Glory.
"Boom!"
Grand Marshal Sidney punched the control panel, denting the alloy surface slightly.
She fixed her gaze on Qu, who was posing as a good person on the screen, her killing intent undiminished.
"A dog can't change its habit of eating feces."
Sidney's voice was icy,
"Today, under the pressure of higher-dimensional power, it killed the treacherous Charlie brothers, which was indeed a good deed."
"But this absolutely cannot wash away its evil nature of eating and transforming humans."
"Once the pressure fades, it will instantly open its bloody maw."
She turned, her cape flaring sharply behind her.
"The fleet's combat orders remain unchanged."
"If that space gate shows even a slit, the fleet will jump immediately!"
"No matter how it acts, I must blast it into cosmic dust!"
Cybertron, Decepticon base.
Optimus Prime's blue optical sensors contracted sharply,
He gazed at the sky, his tone full of shock:
"That alien that evolves by devouring civilizations... actually... gave up?"
"Is it actively protecting those weak carbon-based lifeforms?"
"Foolish Autobots!"
Megatron sat on the iron throne, bursting into earth-shaking laughter,
"Your ridiculous mercy has blinded your logic circuits!"
"This worm is clearly acting!"
"It sensed the killing intent from other universes; to survive, it can instantly discard dignity and pretend to be a loyal hound."
Megatron rose, his metallic giant hand pointing at the sky:
"This is the law of cosmic survival!"
"Once you give it a chance to breathe, it will instantly turn on you and deny anyone!"
Starscream stood aside, fawningly rubbing his hands,
"Leader, wise and mighty! You saw through that meat worm's trick at a glance!"
"This hypocritical guise truly deserves to be thrown into the furnace and reforged!"
Warhammer 40K Universe, Holy Terra.
Beneath the Golden Throne, Robert Guilleman gripped the Emperor's Sword, the holy flame on its blade crackling.
"Aliens are aliens."
"Deceit is etched into their genes."
Guilleman lifted his gaze to the sky,
"It attempts to trade performance for survival."
"But the Imperial Expeditionary Force does not accept alien surrender; we accept only their corpses."
"Once it shows a flaw, the Space Marines will personally chop its flesh nest into minced meat."
Dragon Clan World, Cassell Academy.
Ang Re played with the folding knife in his hand, the blade flashing silver between his fingers.
"Is this what they call 'the wise who know the times are outstanding'?"
Ang Re chuckled lightly,
"A worm capable of interstellar travel actually knows well the philosophy of base survival."
"Its will to survive is far stronger than that of those pure-blood dragons who care only about face."
Lu Mingfei stuffed a big handful of chips into his mouth, muttering indistinctly:
"Nice partner, this kneeling pose is more practiced than when I hit GG after my starbase got flattened in StarCraft."
This lightning‑fast face‑changing acting skill, not going to Hollywood to win an Oscar would be a waste of talent.
Kaisa held a wine glass, eyes contemptuous:
A lowly species without any bottom line. True strong ones never bow their heads.
Three‑Body Fleet.
Chief Scientist 3056 emitted a violently flickering thought‑wave:
Leader, this is a conspiracy from start to finish.
Scheming conspiracies are talismans that lowly creatures use to hide fear.
This alien named Qu has not abandoned its evil ideology; it is merely waiting for the right moment.
A hawkish officer beside him immediately echoed:
We must never let the Supreme God Civilization be deceived by this hypocritical performance!
Leader, we must make our stance clear to the Supreme God Civilization; we suggest immediately eliminating this menace!
The Leader's thought‑wave was calm and profound:
Agreed, weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival; arrogance is.
This worm‑like creature is extremely clever; it knows to retract its arrogance in the face of absolute violence.
But precisely for that reason, it is all the more dangerous.
Land of Light, Universal Defense Force Headquarters.
The Ultra Brothers stared at each other, the atmosphere plunging into unprecedented bewilderment and gravity.
This Qu knelt down so fast and thoroughly that it left these righteous warriors completely bewildered.
What is this supposed to be?
Ultraman Ace anxiously rubbed his hands,
the blade of the decapitating sword on the edge of his right hand flickered unpredictably,
It truly is a cosmic public enemy wicked to the core.
But… but it just genuinely saved the remaining humanity of that universe!
Ultraman Sevan furrowed his brow,
he crossed his arms over his chest and sighed:
If Qu had not intervened, the humanity of the Darwin's Mutation Universe would soon have been utterly annihilated by the Charlie Brothers and their organization.
Regardless of its original intent, it now plays the role of a protector.
If we just kill it like this.
Taro took over, his tone difficult,
Then how do we account for the civilizations it previously altered?
If we don't kill it, this time‑bomb of it could explode at any moment.
But killing a creature that just saved humanity… that violates the Land of Light's principle.
Ultraman Father stood in the chief seat, reaching up to rub his head.
Being too kind can sometimes be a burden.
Qu's maneuver "lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha instantly,"
happened to strike the Ultras' moral soft spot,
plunging them into a deep dilemma.
However, just as myriad worlds debated and the Land of Light hesitated,
King Planet.
A gale whipped up red sand; the Ultraman King, who had long sat cross‑legged on the cliff's edge, slowly rose to his feet.
Beside him, the brothers Leo and Astra halted their combat training, looking over with puzzled faces.
Your Majesty!
Leo stepped forward, asking bewilderedly,
How did you suddenly lift off?
The Ultraman King hovered in mid‑air, his scarlet cape snapping in the cosmic wind.
His dark‑red eyes revealed a profundity that pierces dimensions.
Hehe, Leo.
The Ultraman King's voice was low yet brimming with supreme authority,
The hidden dangers of the universe need to be thoroughly resolved.
I cannot watch that planet be shrouded in false shadows.
Having said that, the Ultraman King slowly raised both arms.
Vast, boundless mental power surged forth from his body,
transforming into a tangible golden light stream that shot straight into the heavens.
directly contacting the canopy suspended high above King Planet.
The canopy likewise released a faint power, as if responding to the Ultraman King.
On the ground,
Astra's eyes widened sharply as he exclaimed:
Brother! Your Majesty… he… he's actually communicating mentally with that mysterious canopy?!
Leo sucked in a breath of cold air.
Since its appearance, the canopy has existed as an observer transcending all worlds.
===GOLSSARY=== 【】
And the Ultraman King, astonishingly, relying solely on his own power, established a connection with it!
Golden light violently flickered on the surface of the firmament.
Immediately after,
A scene that shocked all heavens and myriad worlds occurred.
The spacetime gate of the Darwin Mutation Universe, originally displaying '【Permanently Closed, Unalterable】',
Under the forcible infusion of the Ultraman King's mighty power, it let out a thunderous roar that shattered the void.
A golden rift was forcibly torn open, and the spacetime gate reopened!
The Ultraman King turned into a brilliant golden stream of light,
without the slightest hesitation,
directly pierced through the spacetime gate,
descending upon the skies of the Darwin Mutation Universe!
At this moment,
All civilizations across the myriad worlds were dumbfounded.
Stellar Human Federation:
"The spatial barrier was torn apart by a single entity's power?! What kind of dimensional existence is this?!"
Warhammer 40k Expeditionary Army:
"God-Emperor above! A descent of such an entity is practically comparable to a warp storm!"
Cybertron Star Decepticons:
"Going solo to break the cosmic seal? That Ultraman King old geezer is still way over the top!"
Three-Body Fleet:
"As expected of the individual mighty power of a supreme god civilization, it completely surpasses the limits of our physical understanding!"
In the Kingdom of Light Guard Squad,
Zoffy exclaimed in surprise: "The Great King actually personally went out!"
Beside,
Jack let out a breath of relief, showing a smile:
"Then this is definitely secure!"
Darwin Mutation Universe,
Tokyo ruins.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light descended from the sky.
The Ultraman King's massive form, filled with divinity and majesty, hovered steadily in midair.
An overwhelming sense of oppression instantly locked onto the ground's insect nest.
Qu was completely dumbfounded.
Its countless compound eyes stared fixedly at the Ultraman King in the sky,
Its massive flesh nest trembled wildly at an extremely high frequency,
Its surface secreted large amounts of cold sweat mucus.
Once upon a time,
It once boasted wildly in its own universe,
planning to build a zoo in the Kingdom of Light,
even threatening to "capture the Ultraman King alive."
But now, the true master stands right before it.
That terror emanating from the depths of the soul instantly broke its defenses.
Boom!
Qu hesitated not, its hill‑sized body slamming heavily onto the ground.
Its hundreds of tentacles stretched forward, clinging tightly to the ground,
sliding into a perfect kowtow posture at the Ultraman King's feet.
"Gr... Great Ultraman King!"
Qu's thought waves trembled so much they couldn't form a coherent line,
its voice filled with extreme fear and appeasement,
"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! I harbor no ill intent!"
"Look, I am now the guardian deity of this planet's humanity!"
"Those alien monkeys seeking to exterminate humanity have been completely dealt with by me!"
It frantically pounded the ground,
incoherently defending itself:
"Moreover, great one, you are perceptive!"
"The universe I come from has a very early timeline!"
"In that timeline, I haven't yet had the chance to genetically modify humanity."
"That Ultraman called Silver River Route Base El tore open the timeline."
"Just as I stepped out, I was frenziedly chased by human fleets, fleeing all the way here!"
"I swear! In this life I have never let humanity down!"
"Please, great Ultraman King, see clearly and spare me a way to live!"
Qu kowtowed frantically, smashing the steel rebar and concrete on the ground into powder.
In midair,
Ultraman King had his hands behind his back,
His expression was calm, neither sad nor happy.
"You need not say more. I understand the cycle of cause and effect."
Ultraman King's voice echoed throughout heaven and earth,
"But deep in your species' genes is imprinted a wicked nature that twists all things and creates eternal suffering."
"In order to help all worlds completely eliminate this hidden danger of yours, I must make a decision."
Ultraman King extended a finger:
"Now, I give you two options."
"First, I will immediately imprison you in the cosmic prison, never to rise again."
"Two! Two! Two!"
Before Ultraman King finished speaking, Qu screamed wildly as if struck by electricity,
His compound eyes contracted rapidly:
"I choose option two! Great king, I firmly choose option two!"
Ultraman King nodded slightly:
"Second, I will use the king's miraculous power to completely remake you at the genetic level."
"So that you become a form that lets humanity rest completely at ease."
"Are you willing?"
As soon as he said that, Qu froze for 0.1 seconds.
Then,
It let out an ecstatic shout of gratitude:
"I am more than willing!"
"Great Ultraman King!"
"Please remodel me to your heart's content!"
"To be personally remodeled by you, I, Qu, am practically the luckiest species in the universe!"
As long as I can stay alive,
Never mind genetic remodeling,
Even if you turn it into a single-celled organism, I would accept it.
"As you wish."
Ultraman King slowly raised his right hand.
Under the live broadcast screen of the sky,
A mass of pure, warm golden light containing miraculous power condensed in his palm,
Then it poured down like a waterfall, completely enveloping Qu's massive body.
A miraculous thing happened.
Under the golden light, Qu's body began to undergo violent reorganization.
The icy, deformed, and evil code in its gene chain that sought to freeze all things in eternal suffering was instantly melted and dissolved by that holy light.
In its place,
was the Ultraman clan's sunlight, enthusiasm, and ultimate love for life engraved deep in the soul.
"Ahhhhh—"
Qu let out a piercing cry in the light.
But that was no longer a despairing shriek; it was the utmost pleasure of a soul cleansed.
Its flesh nest shrank and deformed.
The dark predatory urges deep in its mind were completely stripped away,
its mind filled with warm sunlight and the belief to protect the weak.
It was filled.
Finally, the light faded.
That once-terrifying, extraordinarily evil alien that made all realms tremble,
was physically salvaged by Ultraman King,
thoroughly remade into a benevolent species brimming with positive energy, its heart full of love and peace.
The remade Qu's form is no longer the evil icy coldness it once had,
becoming round and gentle.
Moreover, its mind is full of love and justice, sunlight and enthusiasm.
Compared to before, Qu now is practically a harmless little loli!
Gazing at its newly reborn self.
Qu excitedly sent out a thought wave:
"I... I have already become the form of Ultraman King!!"
(Sai Jia placed in the Warhammer Universe, after all a miracle born of despair. Where are Nuoya and Lei Jieduo placed in which universe, any good ideas for a foster father?)
