Why do you humans swat mosquitoes? Is your strength only meant for killing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original plot, Ultraman Arc’s human host immediately “awakened” after her speech and decided to let the monster give birth safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qi Ming—hmm…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming glanced at the nest built by Teroches: “Opposing forces have gathered—but no matter. I kill them all the same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamana asked curiously: “Qi Ming, what were you just looking at? There’s nothing there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t see the yellow woman. When Qi Ming looked again, the yellow woman had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida urged Qi Ming again to help remove the two obstacles inside the villa; otherwise, the Victory Team couldn’t possibly kill people in broad daylight with infrared thermal cannons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh!” The next moment, a giant bird flew in, stirring a violent wind and casting a massive shadow over the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the monstrous bird Teroches, landing lightly atop the villa covered in white webs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being wounded by Flyer Two, it chose to rest in the second nest it had just built last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they couldn’t attack at all—if they provoked the monster bird, the two people inside the villa would die for sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom.” The instant the monster bird landed, the entire villa shook violently; the ceiling began to crumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matsumoto Saburo muttered under his breath: “That damn monster bird!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuriko exclaimed joyfully: “Is this the monster that attacked the yacht? Then Saburo, you’re not guilty—I’ll testify those three weren’t killed by you. Let’s escape quickly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matsumoto Saburo remained unmoved: “Do you think I’d believe that? I only believe these explosives on my body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a man without restraint, valuing neither his own life nor others’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Matsumoto Saburo laughed: “This place might even be safer. The monster bird will be our guardian.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, after seeing the yellow woman, Qi Ming immediately ordered Yamana to issue an evacuation notice, telling nearby residents to seek shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamana: “Are you afraid the monster bird will go berserk and destroy the city?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “It’s not just that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida picked up a loudspeaker and began shouting into the villa:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Matsumoto Saburo, once the surrounding citizens are evacuated, we’ll engage the monster bird!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’ll be dangerous then—get out now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matsumoto Saburo still insisted on having Yokogawa Hiroshi come to retrieve the hostage. The police sharpshooter shook his head: “No good—he’s behind cover. We can’t get a shot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Qi Ming staying out of it, they had no choice but to bring Yokogawa Hiroshi over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This well-dressed wealthy heir arrived by car and immediately berated them: “How did this happen? What are the police doing? Why haven’t you rescued Yuriko yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A police superintendent came forward to explain: “But he’s got explosives on him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yokogawa Hiroshi: “Then just shoot the criminal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamana, having finished evacuating nearby citizens, walked over: “The monster bird Teroches is right above the villa. We can’t act recklessly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yokogawa Hiroshi sneered: “Your Victory Team is useless. It’s just a big bird—you can’t even eliminate it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamana flew into a rage: “What did you say?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida glanced at Qi Ming, thinking: This is your moment—aren’t you the one who specializes in dealing with scum like him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qi Ming remained as detached as ever, unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yokogawa Hiroshi scolded Yamana: \"If you're dissatisfied, do something. You're worse than the Defense Force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a large convoy of military armored vehicles arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brigadier General Hirosaki from the Defense Force stepped out, radiating menace as he declared that Teroches had just smashed two of their F-15 fighters while breaching Tokyo’s airspace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t let this slide—we must eliminate it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida: “Don’t act rashly! There’s a murderer holding a hostage beneath it—attacking now will kill them.” Hirosaki: “The criminal deserves to die. The hostage is pitiable, but for the safety of Tokyo and all Japanese citizens, defeating the monster comes first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the Defense Force so casually dismiss his fiancée, Yokogawa Hiroshi’s face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Hirosaki’s aura was too overwhelming—his iron-blooded demeanor made him unlike Yamana and Kishida, who seemed approachable. He dared not speak out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered under his breath: “I’m Yokogawa Hiroshi of Yokogawa Industries. Our family collaborates with your Defense Force. My fiancée is still inside…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hirosaki found the situation tricky—the Defense Force’s budget relied heavily on “sponsorship” from these conglomerates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only say: “Fine. I’ll consult my superiors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hiroshi!” Matsumoto Saburo shouted loudly, drawing everyone’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuriko, tightly held by him, cried out to her fiancé: “Hiroshi! Save me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matsumoto Saburo grinned cruelly: “Yokogawa Hiroshi, if you want to save Yuriko, come inside the villa and talk to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearby police rejoiced, gripping Yokogawa Hiroshi’s shoulder: “He’s relenting! Quick, let’s go in together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yokogawa Hiroshi shook off his hand and stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at Matsumoto Saburo’s mad expression, his eyes filled with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go on, only you can save him. Come on, go,” the police urged, but Yokogawa Hiroshi still wouldn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matsumoto Saburo laughed wildly: “What’s wrong? Don’t you want to rescue Yuriko anymore?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yokogawa Hiroshi sweated profusely, head bowed, silent, his mind in turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m a Tokyo wealthy heir—do I really risk my life to save some country girl? Is it worth it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamana couldn’t bear it anymore: “No matter what, she’s your fiancée. You have a duty to save her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yokogawa Hiroshi finally spoke, voice trembling: “No. He’s lying. He plans to kill me. I won’t go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he fled like a stray dog to his car, stomped the accelerator, and drove off decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some understood, but most looked down on his behavior. Hirosaki, however, felt one less problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the Yokogawa heir had abandoned his fiancée, they could open fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matsumoto Saburo laughed even more wildly, turning to Yuriko: “He ran. That’s the kind of man he is—a coward!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Hirosaki was about to order his soldiers to fire, the ground cracked open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White mist erupted, rocks flew through the air, and a colossal figure emerged from beneath the earth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a beast resembling a saber-toothed tiger, its body glowing with molten hues, covered in spines, its long tail dragging a deep trench across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The culprit behind Tokyo’s soaring temperature—the scorching monster [Homgar]—appeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cautiously probing its surroundings, it charged northwest—directly along Yokogawa Hiroshi’s escape route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!” [Homgar] didn’t avoid any obstacles—its left front leg crushed the car Yokogawa Hiroshi was driving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is this? The monster’s chasing me! Victory Team, save me! Defense Force, save—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice cut off. The four-ten-thousand-ton monster’s foot came down, instantly flattening the front half of the car. The occupant was clearly dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahaha! He’s dead now—this is karma!” Matsumoto Saburo roared with laughter at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The monster killed someone!” Hirosaki’s face turned pale. He immediately ordered his soldiers to open fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Soldiers fired rocket launchers at [Homgar].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Homgar] retaliated instantly—energy gathered in its mouth, launching fireballs like a shower of sparks toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming pulled Yamana and Kishida aside to dodge, but Matsumoto Saburo received no such mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a fireball hurtled toward him and death loomed, he realized he wasn’t as detached as he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!” The next instant, the fireball reduced him to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuriko’s right arm turned black and charred; she screamed in agony, writhing on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming gently clapped his hands: “The farce is over. Now it’s my turn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——————————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s update is extremely long—almost equivalent to six chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Requesting monthly votes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1370,"2026-06-19T16:40:33.318Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8c1200d309ac3a589b1f0af20f4d08e0632d6e3ee50a001487285219ce7ed880","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-130","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-128",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-cover.jpg"]
