Have you come to see me again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matsumoto Saburo’s face froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many days has it been, and you’ve already found another man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yukiko began to sense something was wrong: “Are you Hiro?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matsumoto Saburo asked coldly: “Where is Hiroshi Yokogawa?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his voice, Yukiko let out a sharp cry and her body trembled uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The policeman: “He hasn’t come here because he’s afraid of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matsumoto Saburo sneered: “Hmph, is he at that villa?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know that Hiroshi Yokogawa’s villa had been seized by Tairoches and turned into its nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, come with me to the villa.” He grabbed Yukiko and told the police to notify Hiroshi Yokogawa to come to the villa to rescue her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, let me go!” Yukiko struggled violently, but Matsumoto Saburo showed no mercy—he slapped her hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be quiet. I’ve got twenty bundles of explosives strapped to me.” His voice carried no emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yukiko stopped resisting. Matsumoto Saburo threw her onto the motorcycle’s back seat and sped toward the villa, now occupied by Tairoches, with the screaming, begging hostage in tow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Fly Yan  II pierced through the black smoke and arrived at Demon Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, a giant bird perched inside the volcanic crater, spewing white, thread-like filaments that looked like it was breathing clouds and mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami Nishijo: “That must be Tairoches!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tamaboshi Dan gazed at the surroundings, warped and blurred by the intense heat, and mused:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This volcano isn’t stable—it could erupt at any moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder Tairoches moved its nest. It chose Tokyo because Tokyo’s temperature is extremely high, similar to this environment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But why is Tokyo so hot? Neither the cosmic beetles nor the monstrous birds have anything to do with the rising temperature, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami Nishijo said they could consider that later: “Captain, let’s deal with the enemy in front of us first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tamaboshi Dan: “Lure it out first, so we don’t trigger a volcanic eruption prematurely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeping this in mind, Nami Nishijo didn’t launch missiles right away. She aimed at Tairoches’s eyes and fired a Spike Cannon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh!” Tairoches had already spotted them—it tilted its head slightly and blocked the shot with its lower jaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unharmed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this even flesh and blood?!” Nami Nishijo was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enraged by the attack, Tairoches flapped its wings and flew out of its nest, charging straight at Fly Yan  II.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami Nishijo, an expert pilot, maneuvered Fly Yan  II to dodge at the last second, then flew far away, luring it clear of the crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At this distance, our attack won’t affect the volcano.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After moving ten kilometers away, Nami Nishijo locked onto Tairoches and launched all eighteen anti-monster missiles at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guided anti-monster missiles struck, unleashing blinding light and searing heat, thick smoke billowing everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did we get it?” Nami Nishijo’s words had barely left her lips when her face hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodied but alive, Tairoches burst through the smoke and charged toward Fly Yan  II.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The missiles had pierced its defenses—but hadn’t delivered a fatal wound!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh!” Two antennae on Tairoches’s face fired blue beams of destruction—this move had once struck Jack’s eye in the original series, instantly reverting Hideki Go back to his human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami Nishijo narrowly dodged again: “Damn it, is it even capable of being hurt?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tamaboshi Dan said gravely: “Nishijo, target the base of its wings with the Texas Beam!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami Nishijo: “The Texas Beam… will it give us that angle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tamaboshi Dan: “Trust yourself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he focused his mind and unleashed his Ultraman psychic power—a technique that drained his lifespan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh!” The next instant, Tairoches, which had been flying at high speed, suddenly moved strangely—its pace slowed noticeably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami Nishijo’s spirits lifted. Seizing the opportunity, she fired decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Texas Beam—fire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Texas Beam, which in the original Ultraman Tiga series could obliterate Gakuma with one shot, struck the base of Tairoches’s right wing. It let out a mournful cry, nearly toppling into the sea, its flight unsteady as it veered away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It still can fly… after all that?” Nami Nishijo couldn’t believe it. What kind of monster was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All missiles were expended. The next Texas Beam required long recharging. Chasing it now seemed pointless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s return to base and resupply,” Tamaboshi Dan said wearily, having exhausted his Ultraman psychic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming had once told him he wasn’t skilled in aerial combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Tairoches had been hit in the wing, it couldn’t maintain balance until healed—this would significantly reduce Qi Ming’s burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tokyo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamakawa and Kishida flew Fly Yan  I, equipped with a thermal infrared cannon, toward the villa that Tairoches had chosen as a backup nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the two prepared to burn it down, Matsumoto Saburo arrived with Yukiko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, why’s it so hot here?” Matsumoto Saburo cursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held Yukiko at gunpoint, facing off against the police who trailed behind but dared not fire, fearing the explosives and the hostage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t come any closer!” He pointed the gun at Yukiko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The police shouted: “Don’t be stupid! You can’t stay here—it’s Tairoches’s nest! It could show up any moment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matsumoto Saburo remained unmoved—he demanded they summon Hiroshi Yokogawa immediately, or he’d kill the hostage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he opened the door and entered the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell!” Yamakawa and Kishida in Fly Yan  I had to halt their attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they fired the thermal infrared cannon now, they’d burn Matsumoto Saburo and Yukiko alive together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go down and check the situation… Hey, look—Qi Ming’s here too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharp-eyed Yamakawa spotted Qi Ming’s figure—he had arrived as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two quickly landed and joined him. Kishida said: “Qi Ming, with your skills, you could easily subdue Matsumoto Saburo inside the villa and rescue the hostage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “Haha, I’m not going.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, Matsumoto Saburo, Hiroshi Yokogawa, and Yukiko could be described in four words:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whore and dog, forever matched. Whoever dies, it’s a good death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no intention of saving anyone—he’d probably clap his hands if all three perished together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamakawa had no way to argue with him: “Then why are you here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming scanned the surroundings: “I came here sensing the shift in the earth’s dragon qi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the center of Tokyo’s heat source, and the place most similar to a volcanic environment—so Tairoches came to build its nest here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wanted to see what’s special about it… Ah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Qi Ming suddenly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw a woman in yellow standing behind a large tree, watching him with an unusual gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1146,"2026-06-19T16:40:33.318Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1034a02a4393757241c7d86d8db77e80af76e8682faaa3d18ab3d21632123d2b","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-129","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-127",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-cover.jpg"]
