Bang! Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fumig moved with light steps, fleeing quickly like an ostrich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamada: “We can’t attack, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida: “If we attack rashly, Miss Mayumi might die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Nagi Nishijo, who never showed mercy to monsters, now held back, as there were other targets on the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Litgarudon; it took one step after another, heading toward the power plant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seiji: “Texas Beam, fire!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!” The next moment, the powerful Texas Beam struck Litgarudon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its body merely trembled slightly, without sustaining any critical damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s too tough!” Kishida exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Megumi’s voice came through the communication channel: “Everyone, new development—the Ghost Ship form of Zhong Baiyou has reappeared, and it’s heading toward you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamada: “What?! Didn’t Ultraseven already destroy it?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Megumi: “Oddly, this time it hasn’t absorbed any souls along the way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nagi Nishijo spoke gravely: “Still, we can’t ignore it. This thing poses too great a threat to Earth—it must be eliminated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seiji coughed once: “Let’s observe first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the function of the Ultraman Anykey and understood that this Zhong Baiyou was definitely Qi Ming transformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Becoming a spaceship feels so strange…” Qi Ming thought at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he now considered “mechanical transcendence”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming felt the transformation into Zhong Baiyou had high cost-effectiveness and broad utility; he could even use it for interstellar travel with passengers later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Fumig, he immediately shifted into monster form, instantly teleporting before it and catching it completely off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Qi Ming unleashed Zhong Baiyou’s [Binding Beam], binding Fumig.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fumig panicked instantly, struggling wildly but unable to break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a weakling…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then again, in the original series, this thing could only tie up Ultramayus and GUYS by holding hostages.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Face-to-face, it’s just a common enemy that a normal Ultramayus could kick to death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qi Ming thought this, Zhong Baiyou’s eyes glowed, and the Soul Absorption Beam struck Fumig.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended to draw Mayumi’s soul, connected to Fumig, into himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!” Fumig panicked instantly—it felt its connection to Mayumi’s soul being forcibly torn away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This could not be allowed. If it didn’t possess a human body, it would revert to its original form: a ghostly flame!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fumig fought desperately, but against Zhong Baiyou, which could instantly kill balloon-like super-beasts, it was utterly powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh!” After one minute of struggle, Mayumi’s soul was drawn into Zhong Baiyou’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fumig let out a piercing scream, then its form gradually dissolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left behind were Mayumi, her skin now gray-black and eyes tightly shut, and a strange, flickering flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Fumig’s original form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh!” The blue flame sought to flee, searching for a new host.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qi Ming naturally wouldn’t give it that chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He unleashed the [Splitting Beam], shattering the blue ghost flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fumig: confirmed dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A green speck entered the Ultraman Anykey, transformed by Qi Ming into a single Star Gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did Fumig get taken out?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qi Ming’s plan succeeded—he used another monster’s ability to separate Fumig from Miss Mayumi’s soul!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nagi Nishijo: “Now we just need to destroy Zhong Baiyou, and Miss Mayumi’s soul can return to her body, restoring her to normal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seiji stopped her: “Don’t act rashly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a purple speck shot from Zhong Baiyou’s eyes and landed on Mayumi’s pitch-black skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her skin returned to normal; she rubbed her head and woke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?! Zhong Baiyou voluntarily returned Mayumi’s soul?!” Yamada’s eyes nearly popped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A monster showing kindness? Am I awake?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is probably a trick to deceive us—don’t let your guard down,” Nagi Nishijo still prepared to fire on Zhong Baiyou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seiji, who had previously agreed with Qi Ming, kept finding excuses to prevent her from attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming was about to take Mayumi away from the battlefield when Litgarudon, as if drawn by some force, lunged toward Zhong Baiyou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It wants to absorb my energy?” Zhong Baiyou released the [Splitting Beam] again, but it could not restrain Litgarudon’s movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Litgarudon was no weakling like Fumig—it was at least B-class in normal form, and in the original series, it held its own against Strong Diaga.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t fight here—Mayumi could be crushed by Litgarudon at any moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming wasn’t used to crawling on four legs, so he used his low-energy teleportation again, aiming to lure Litgarudon away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!” The next moment, the roar of a motorcycle echoed, causing Mayumi, still dazed after regaining her soul, to blink with sudden focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida: “Who is this, daring to ride a motorcycle into such a dangerous zone?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man in black clothing rode his motorcycle onto the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scooped Mayumi onto the back seat and sped away from the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alive Taku? First time seeing him.” Qi Ming, seeing Mayumi out of danger, relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was rather disillusioning—in the original Ultraman Tiga and Ultraman Dyna series, Taku was always a ghost born from unyielding posthumous will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this absurd world, he was actually alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He might not live long, though. Though Gazo won’t appear, according to Ultraman Dyna, the real killer of Taku was a monster called ‘Gu Huo Niao’…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it—deal with the immediate threat first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Baiyou released its soul-absorbing beam again, but as it struck Litgarudon, Qi Ming sensed chaos within—it couldn’t locate the three astronauts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to awaken their dormant consciousness.” Thinking this, Qi Ming gestured with a claw toward Seiji inside the Flying Eagle II.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seiji understood and said: “Megumi, send the families’ data of the three astronauts into the computer aboard Jupiter Three.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Megumi complied, Litgarudon, which had been advancing, suddenly erupted in sparks and began moving strangely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Baiyou, using its soul-absorbing beam on Litgarudon, clearly sensed changes within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of familial love awakened the dormant consciousness of the three astronauts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t enough—it needed one final spark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a minute later, Director Yin of TPC Security arrived at the battlefield with several others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elderly woman with white hair, a beautiful young wife, a young elementary school child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the families of the three astronauts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though I have no authority to know the Victory Team’s exact battle plan, your loved ones are trapped inside that monster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They are fighting desperately, just as TPC fights to protect Earth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on—cheer them on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1045,"2026-06-19T16:40:33.318Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","71dab87cea267c4b059dc08c1475f9d9491a4926c24c97890c0507cb038aec15","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-123","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-121",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-cover.jpg"]
