Chapter 129: 125 Response of the Full Moon, Qi Ming's Killing Intent (Fifth update, seeking full subscription)

Isn't this... the fairy from the seventh episode of "Ultraman Arc," "Response of the Full Moon"?

Alright, now I know what's going on with the rising temperature in Tokyo.

The reason is the same as in the original "Ultraman Arc" series: a monster called 【Homugar】 is active, causing the city's temperature to rise rapidly.

Because it releases energy when giving birth, it can blow up an entire city.

In the original series, just as humans and Ultraman were about to intervene, this woman in yellow appeared.

She couldn't offer any solution, only pointing fingers from a high horse, accusing humans of not understanding coexistence and calling Ultraman Arc a machine that only knows how to kill.

Her words, translated, are roughly: "The mother mosquito is also risking danger to suck your blood in order to lay eggs; they are also precious lives. Why do you humans have to swat mosquitoes? Is human power only for killing?"

In the original series, the human host of Ultraman Arc "woke up" after these words and decided to let the monster give birth successfully.

But Qi Ming, heh...

Qi Ming looked at the bird's nest built by Teroches on the side: "The heaven-defying ones have gathered together, but it doesn't matter, I'll kill both of them the same!"

Shan Zhong asked curiously: "Qi Ming, what were you looking at just now? There was nothing in that spot."

He couldn't see the woman in yellow, and when Qi Ming looked again, the woman in yellow had already disappeared.

Kishida once again urged Qi Ming to help remove the two obstacles in the villa; otherwise, the Victory Force couldn't just use thermal infrared cannons to kill people in broad daylight, right?

"Whoosh!" The next moment, a giant bird flew over, bringing a gust of wind and casting a huge shadow on the ground.

It was the strange bird Teroches, which landed lightly on the villa covered by white webbing.

After being wounded by Victory Feiyan No. 2, it chose to come to the second nest it had just built last night to recuperate.

Now it was even more impossible to attack; once an attack on the strange bird caused it to riot, the two people in the villa below would surely die.

"Bang." The moment the strange bird landed, the entire villa shook violently, and the ceiling of the room began to fall off.

Songben Sanlang cursed: "It really is that strange bird!"

Yukiko was pleasantly surprised: "Is it the strange bird that attacked the yacht? Then Sanlang, you are innocent. I will testify that those three people weren't killed by you. Let's run!"

Songben Sanlang remained unmoved: "Do you think I'll believe that? I only believe in the explosives on my body!"

He was a person with no scruples, not taking his own life or others' seriously.

After speaking, Songben Sanlang laughed instead: "This place might actually be safer; the strange bird will be our guardian deity."

On the other side, after seeing the woman in yellow, Qi Ming immediately asked Shan Zhong to issue an evacuation notice, telling nearby people to take refuge.

Shan Zhong: "Are you afraid the strange bird will riot and destroy the city?"

Qi Ming: "It's not just it that's troublesome."

Kishida held a megaphone and began to shout to Songben Sanlang inside:

"Hey, Songben Sanlang, once the surrounding citizens are evacuated, we will fight the strange bird!"

"It will be very dangerous then, come out quickly!"

Songben Sanlang still insisted on having Xiang Tenggong come to pick up the person. The Metropolitan Police sniper shook his head: "No, he is hiding behind cover, there's no way to snipe him."

With Qi Ming staying out of it, they could only invite Xiang Tenggong over.

After this gorgeously dressed rich young master arrived by car, he immediately questioned: "How did it end up like this? What is the police doing? Why haven't they rescued Yukiko yet?"

A police officer of inspector rank came over to explain the situation: "But, he has a bomb on him."

Xiang Tenggong: "Then why not just shoot the criminal dead?"

Shan Zhong, who had finished evacuating nearby citizens, walked over: "Teroches is right above the villa, we can't act rashly."

Xiang Tenggong sneered: "You Victory Force are really useless. Isn't it just a slightly larger bird? You can't even eliminate it."

Shan Zhong was furious: "What are you saying!"

Kishida looked at Qi Ming, thinking to himself that it should be your turn to step up now, right? Aren't you the specialist for scum like this?

But Qi Ming remained in that spectator-like posture, unmoved.

Xiang Tenggong scolded Shan Zhong: "If you're not convinced, do something. I think you are far worse than the Defense Force."

The next moment, a large batch of military armored vehicles arrived.

Defense Force Brigadier General Hiroyuki Hiiragi got out of the car, saying with a murderous aura that Teroches had smashed two of their F-15 fighters that had tried to intercept it when it entered Tokyo's airspace.

"We can't just let it go, we must eliminate it!"

Kishida: "Don't act rashly. There is a murderer holding a hostage in the villa below it. If we attack rashly, they will die." Hiiragi: "The criminal deserves to die. The hostage is worthy of sympathy, but for the safety of Tokyo and all Japanese citizens, we must put defeating the monster first!"

Hearing the Defense Force people so casually willing to abandon his fiancée, Xiang Tenggong's expression changed.

But the murderous aura on Hiiragi was too heavy, a style of iron and blood, unlike Shan Zhong and Kishida who looked easy to talk to, making him afraid to be presumptuous.

He muttered in a low voice: "I am Xiang Tenggong of Xiang Teng Industry. Our family has cooperation with your Defense Force, and my fiancée is still inside..."

After hearing this, Hiiragi felt it was a bit tricky; a large part of the Defense Force's military budget came from the "sponsorship" of these consortia.

He had to say: "Alright, I will go ask for instructions from above."

"Xiang Teng!" Songben Sanlang shouted, attracting everyone's attention.

Yukiko, who was firmly grabbed by him, called out to her fiancé loudly: "Hao! Save me quickly!"

Songben Sanlang had a cruel smile on his face: "Xiang Tenggong, if you want to save Yukiko, why don't you come into the villa and talk to me?"

The police officer on the side was overjoyed to see this; he pressed on Xiang Tenggong's shoulder: "This guy has loosened up, hurry, let's go in together."

But Xiang Tenggong broke free from his hand and took a step back.

He looked at Songben Sanlang's face full of madness, his eyes filled with terror.

"Go quickly, only you can save her now, come on, let's go." The police officer continued to persuade, but Xiang Tenggong still didn't dare to go over.

Seeing this, Songben Sanlang laughed wildly: "What's wrong? Don't you want to take Yukiko back anymore?!"

Xiang Tenggong was sweating profusely, his head lowered, saying nothing, a battle between heaven and man raging in his mind.

I am a rich young master in Tokyo; is it worth it to risk my life to save a country girl?

Shan Zhong couldn't watch anymore: "No matter what, she is your fiancée, you have the responsibility to save her!"

Xiang Tenggong finally spoke, his voice trembling: "I'm not going, he is lying to me, he intends to kill me! I'm not going!"

After speaking, he ran toward his car like a stray dog, stepped on the gas, and left decisively.

Some people could understand, but most people despised this behavior, while Hiiragi felt one less piece of trouble.

This young master Xiang Teng had given up, so they could open fire now, right?

Seeing this, Songben Sanlang laughed even more wildly. He said to Yukiko: "He ran away, this guy is just that kind of man, a coward!"

Just as Hiiragi was about to order his soldiers to open fire, the earth suddenly cracked open.

White mist sprayed up, rocks flew, and a huge figure drilled out from underground!

It was a giant beast like a saber-toothed tiger, its whole body flowing with magma-like tones, covered in spikes, its long tail dragging a huge gully on the ground.

The culprit behind the soaring temperature in Tokyo—the scorching monster 【Homugar】, has arrived!

After poking its tiger head around for a while, it ran toward the northwest—coincidentally overlapping with Xiang Tenggong's escape route.

"Bang!" 【Homugar】 didn't avoid the obstacles under its feet at all, its left front leg stepping on the car Xiang Tenggong was driving.

"What is this? The monster is chasing me! Victory Force, save me quickly! Defense Force, save..."

The voice stopped abruptly. With one step from the forty-thousand-ton monster, the front half of the car was instantly flattened, and the people inside looked like they were in grave danger.

"Haha, this guy must be dead, this is retribution!" Songben Sanlang laughed non-stop when he saw this scene.

"The monster killed someone!" Hiiragi's expression changed drastically, and he immediately ordered his soldiers to open fire.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The soldiers fired with rocket launchers, hitting 【Homugar】.

After being hit, 【Homugar】 immediately counterattacked, energy condensing in its mouth, fireballs firing in this direction like scattered flowers.

Qi Ming pulled Shan Zhong and Kishida to dodge, while Songben Sanlang didn't have that treatment.

When a fireball flew toward him rapidly and death was imminent, he found that he wasn't that detached after all.

"Bang!" The next moment, the fireball burned him to ashes.

Yukiko on the side had her right arm burned pitch black, screaming in pain and rolling on the ground.

Qi Ming clapped his hands lightly: "The farce is finally over, it's my turn to step up now."
