Launch base calling headquarters! Anomaly detected!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground cracked open, and a sea creature–like alien emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tokitomo, inside the command room, gasped: “It’s the Metron alien—it’s still alive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “This guy probably isn’t the one you know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Metron alien that fought Ultraseven in “The Street Under Sniper Fire” only appeared again in “The Street No Longer Under Sniper Fire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Metron alien in Ace was likely just a different individual from the same species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a dozen tanks emerged from the trees; Flyer One and Flyer Two descended from the sky, their cannons aimed at the Metron alien.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This missile is Earth’s last hope—no wonder they’re using such heavy firepower to protect it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Metron alien didn’t realize this was a trap set for intruders; it charged through the barrage, grabbing the missile with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait—that’s not right…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This missile is supposed to destroy a planet—why is it so light?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, this thing’s hollow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the Metron alien realized it had fallen into humanity’s trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t the super missile capable of destroying a planet—it was just a shell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this wasn’t the Land of Light, some open restroom you could come and go from; it had already been shredded by the barrage just getting this close—could it possibly break out again under fire?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In desperation, it blurred its form, shrinking to human size and sprinting into the missile launch base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And ran straight into Maya, Yamakuchi’s fiancée—truly fate’s encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, don’t come closer!” Seeing the terrifying alien, Maya panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Metron alien counted on using her body to escape the encirclement—it wouldn’t hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing it had been tricked, it seethed with rage and prepared to kill Maya, possess her body, and slip past the net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, someone gently tapped its back: “Hello. Here’s a little welcome gift.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Metron alien turned instinctively—a fist instantly filled its entire field of vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Qi Ming—he’d been waiting here all along!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Yamakuchi was often abstract in most situations, his fiancée was innocent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saving a life with a simple gesture, altering a cruel fate—Qi Ming was more than happy to do it. Helping others was his joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fierce punch drove the Metron alien straight into the wall; it screamed in agony, unable to believe such power could come from a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…!” The Metron alien now trembled like a bird startled by a bowstring; it staggered, gritted its teeth against the pain, and rapidly grew to giant size to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming pulled out his PDI communicator: “The Metron alien’s fleeing again. Yours now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami Nishijo in Flyer Two: “Received.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maya snapped back to herself, looking at Qi Ming with gratitude: “Thank you so much—you’re Qi Ming, Yamakuchi’s teammate, right? He’s mentioned you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming smiled faintly: “He mentioned me? How did he describe me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maya instantly grew embarrassed, stammering without words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Yamakuchi’s words, Qi Ming was arrogant, disrespectful, insolent to seniors… but how could she say that to the man who just saved her life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maya! Maya!” Yamakuchi arrived in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning his fiancée had nearly been killed by the Metron alien, he shuddered with relief, then looked at Qi Ming with gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamakuchi sincerely thanked him: “Thank you, Qi Ming. Thanks to you—you always show up when it matters!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming stared at Yamakuchi. Everything had gone too smoothly—no complications at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Yamakuchi given no chance to relapse, Qi Ming couldn’t just randomly give him a beating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just a small favor,” Qi Ming ruffled Yamakuchi’s hair, tapped his forehead lightly, and waved goodbye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We often mess around like this once we’re close,” Yamakuchi said after Qi Ming left, smoothing his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maya curiously asked: “Didn’t you say Qi Ming was arrogant and full of himself? I think he’s pretty nice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamakuchi was awkward: “Well… he’s inconsistent—sometimes terrible, sometimes normal. But once you get used to him, he’s pretty steady.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as you don’t provoke him, he’s a reliable teammate most of the time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how one became “used to him”—that couldn’t be explained. If Maya found out she’d been bullied by a junior… it would be too humiliating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maya: “Inconsistent?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamakuchi: “Yes. Sometimes he acts awful, sometimes he’s perfectly normal—like he has split personality. I think he’s nuts, but then again, nuts wouldn’t be this… stable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maya: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamakuchi, what if the one with unstable moods, like someone with split personality, is actually you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you’re having an episode, he punches you hard—that’s why you think he’s terrible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you don’t provoke him, he has no reason to attack you—that’s why you think he’s normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dilemma lay before Maya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she gently advise her fiancé to look inward for the problem?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the Metron alien, having shrunk and fled into the launch base, took Qi Ming’s punch—and found both inside and outside were hells. In panic, it grew giant again, trying to carve a path out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was met by the fully charged Texas Beam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami Nishijo fired—the Flyer Two unleashed an overwhelming energy beam, reducing the Metron alien to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming gestured; a green light was drawn into the Ultraman Arbitrary Key and converted into 1 Star Gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star Gift: 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amplification: 7\u002F10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming saw the 7\u002F10 and grew furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuck, was I gathering nothing but air that night!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander Qi Ming truly foresaw this—the aliens really came to sabotage the missile launch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent! We delivered a crushing blow to those who sought to destroy the launch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the drill, TPC was energized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With proper preparation, humanity could defeat monsters without Ultramen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander He Zhi: “Perfect. Launch the real missile in twenty-four hours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counselor Kento: “With the Metron alien as a warning, any troublemakers will dare not act rashly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1102,"2026-06-19T16:40:33.318Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e7f69a6d92d7c2137f237774c7bba4f989dc6a91a6ff755e5fc587f255f7e862","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-101","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-99",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-cover.jpg"]
