Chapter 183

"Member Qi Ming is resting by my side; his body is too weak," Emi responded this way, helping Qi Ming cover up.

Although she luckily discovered the truth, it didn't mean she could be a loudspeaker and broadcast this secret to everyone.

Member Qi Ming chose to hide his identity; she must respect his thoughts.

And although everyone in the Victory Force is trustworthy, there are "individual people" who are sometimes not very reliable.

Once this matter is leaked, Qi Ming will become the target of public criticism.

"Okay, take good care of him." With Emi's testimony, the others dispelled their doubts.

Only Moroboshi Dan was silent for it.

"Bang!" On the battlefield, with a loud noise, Dark Orb successfully pried the controller off Gamoron's head with his holy sword.

The latter's body stiffened, it closed its eyes, returned to its original state, and shrank to a height of less than two meters.

It lay on the ground, motionless.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on! Don't die!" Director Airan Cheng was shocked; could it be that I messed things up in my debut battle?

The next moment, the little monster lying on the ground opened its eyes, and its fingers began to move.

"Great..." Dark Orb patted his chest.

He made a heart shape for everyone, then retreated handsomely and gracefully.

That's right, one must leave immediately after the battle ends; this style is the only one that fits the "true Ultra Warrior" in his heart.

"Hey, hey, hey, Dark King Ultraman Orb, don't go; monsters have appeared in other cities, please help..." Kishida hurriedly shouted, wanting to ask him to handle a second round.

But Director Airan Cheng clearly didn't hear it; in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared into the horizon.

Soldier Shan Zhong: "Left so fast, looking like he's in a rush to get off work and go home."

Kishida: "He might have been low on energy after fighting a whole battle and felt he could safely leave the other battlefield to Cosmos."

Saijo Nagi looked at the picture of the other battlefield, a layer of haze appearing on her face: "Can we really be at ease? Cosmos today, his movements are so strange."

…………………………

So dizzy.

Turning into Ultraman didn't alleviate the physical discomfort at all; Qi Ming felt the whole world was spinning.

He couldn't even stand steadily, let alone talk about fighting?

"Shoo!" The electric spark energy on the two prongs of Stone King's tail intersected, and the destructive light beam formed blasted onto Cosmos, making him fly backward.

"So painful." This pain actually made Qi Ming's consciousness a bit clearer.

He gritted his teeth, did a carp kip-up, leaped behind Stone King, and wanted to turn the horn on its back backward.

This was Stone King's weakness; as long as it could be turned over, it would be finished.

"Shoo!" Seeing Cosmos approaching, the cactus Super Beast on the side curled into a ball and knocked Cosmos back.

Stone King supplemented with another destructive light beam, causing sparks to fly all over Cosmos.

"Ultraman, what are you doing? Come and save us quickly!" Songben Songben Sanlang shouted anxiously.

And although Mingfu was scared, seeing this scene couldn't help but feel happy: "Sure enough, Ultraman can't beat my Stone King; Stone King is invincible!"

"Boom!" The next moment, the apartment shook violently again.

The ceiling fell, hitting a position one meter in front of the two, making them increasingly uneasy.

Could it be that they really went too far this time?

The lack of coordination between consciousness and body made Cosmos suffer consecutive defeats, leaving behind countless embarrassing moments.

"Sure enough, is it not working..." Emi saw this scene and couldn't help but feel heartache.

Mingfu saw this scene and couldn't help but scold like before: "You are a useless Ultraman, beaten by the monster and unable to fight back!"

Scolding the monster and scolding Ultraman, only then is it sound.

"Bang!" Qi Ming, dizzy and confused, had no mind to pay attention to him; after desperately dodging the joint attack from the opposite side, he finally couldn't hold on.

His eyes went black, he lost consciousness, and he fainted directly.

The human host was unconscious, and Ultraman Cosmos also hung his head, motionless.

Fainting on a battlefield where one is fighting for their life, Cosmos now seemed to have become fish on a chopping block.

"Roar?" The huge contrast made Stone King and the cactus Super Beast suspicious, and they circled around it.

Stone King was the first to step forward to test; it sprinted violently, wanting to pierce Cosmos with the sharp horn on its head!

Cosmos, which was dead and motionless just now, immediately resumed action; he kicked violently, kicking Stone King's head horn to pieces, making it roll on the ground in pain.

Emi was pleasantly surprised: "Has consciousness recovered!"

Not at all.

Qi Ming was still in a coma; this strike was not him feigning weakness to lure the enemy deep, but an instinctive reaction.

At the beginning of the fifteenth episode of "Ultraman Cosmos," "Deep Sea Death Battle," it was mentioned that Member Fubuki had won the Defense Force Karate Championship while losing consciousness halfway through.

The latter part of that episode was also like this; Fubuki could still operate the submarine to support Cosmos while unconscious in the deep sea, and after waking up, he didn't remember doing these things at all.

Qi Ming was in this situation now.

Although his consciousness was muddled, his unyielding fighting spirit supported his body so it didn't fall, and he could respond to the outside world like a conditioned reflex.

Muscle memory drove him to block and counterattack, and then pay back double!

"Roar!" The cactus Super Beast released needles at Cosmos again; Cosmos didn't dodge.

He grabbed all the needles, then backhanded them onto the cactus Super Beast's body, hitting it so it retreated repeatedly.

Being caught off guard just now was because of the lack of coordination between consciousness and body.

Now that consciousness had fainted, this problem was solved.

"Bang!" Cosmos rushed up again; now this body had no distracting thoughts, precise and efficient, like a ruthless killing machine.

Only caring about killing the enemy, not caring about anything else, a true monster killing machine!

"So strong, it has half the bravery it had before," Emi marveled.

Stone King and the cactus Super Beast suddenly fell into a disadvantage; if this continues, they can win!

"Ultraman, save me quickly, I'm scared!" On the crumbling apartment, children's heart-rending cries came.

Sand and stones from the ceiling kept seeping down, the whole building was trembling, making Mingfu and Songben Songben Sanlang increasingly scared.

It was just playing around, how did it become like this!

"My home!"

"The house I bought with a mortgage!"

The citizens who ran to the safe zone on the side were also screaming; they suffered an unprovoked disaster.

"Bang!" The next moment, the cactus Super Beast, which was anxious from being beaten, shot all the spikes on its body in all directions.

Three of the spikes were aimed directly at the apartment where the two children were.

If it were any other Ultraman with a clear mind, at this time, they would probably hesitate between "saving people or defeating the monster," and some would probably directly use their bodies to block these three spikes for the children.

But there was only a killing machine on the field now.

Cosmos didn't speak, just blindly beat Stone King, breaking all three of its horns.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" These three spikes of the cactus Super Beast became the last straw that broke the apartment.

The next moment, the entire apartment collapsed with a crash. Dust soared into the sky, covering the sky and the sun.

"No, Stone King, save me..."

The child's screams were emitted, but the sound was soon drowned out by the roar of reinforced concrete shattering, and after that, there was no more movement.

"No, my child!" Mingfu's mother let out a scream at this, almost fainting.

Emi's expression was complex; she wanted to feel pity, but still felt that it was these two children who brought it on themselves.

Knowing that monsters were dangerous, they still hid them, objectively assisting them in growing stronger; this could no longer be explained by "young and ignorant."

Now, retribution had come; the first thing the monster did after growing huge was to destroy the apartment they were in... these two children were probably gone.

"Bang!" At the same time, the battle reached its end.

Ultraman Cosmos's color timer began to flash, and the cactus Super Beast and Stone King were also beaten to their last breath. "Bang!" Cosmos didn't even use a finishing move in the end, punch after punch, forcibly beating the monster and Super Beast until they lost their lives.

A green and blue light spot passed through the color timer and was sucked into the Ultraman Arbitrary Key.

This violent scene made the onlookers in the distance discuss it endlessly: "As expected of the most violent Ultraman, the methods are truly cruel!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Even though the enemy had lost its life, Cosmos continued to attack the monster's corpse under the drive of inertia.

"What a cautious Ultraman; is this to prevent the monster from not being thoroughly dead?"

"I think this is just whipping the corpse!"

"Ding-dong—ding-dong—ding..." Three minutes were up, the color timer went out, and Cosmos's figure dissipated, leaving only Qi Ming standing on the spot.

…………………………

His consciousness recovered a trace of clarity; he endured the discomfort and looked forward: "Is it over..."

The weakness after the fierce battle made his body worse, his legs trembled, and he fell to the ground involuntarily.

Just as he was about to fall, a pair of warm hands caught him steadily.

Emi, who was concerned about Qi Ming, appeared immediately after the battle ended and gently supported him.

"The monsters have all been finished off, Member Qi Ming; you won." Emi looked at Qi Ming with a complex expression.

"That... is good." Qi Ming fainted again.

…………………………

When he woke up, it was already twenty hours later.

After such a long deep sleep, Qi Ming felt refreshed after waking up.

Feeling that in another two or three days, he would be fully recovered.

Emi was curled up like a kitten on a chair beside the hospital bed, hugging her knees, appearing to be guarding him.

"Member Emi, this must be very tiring." Qi Ming intended to give this bed to Emi and go out to breathe some fresh air himself.

"Member Qi Ming, you're awake; do you feel better now?" Emi woke up and breathed a sigh of relief seeing he was fine.

Qi Ming: "Full of energy!"

Just as Emi was about to say something more, the ward door opened, and Moroboshi Dan walked in somewhat excitedly.

"What have you done? Why didn't you save those two children!"

Qi Ming: "Actually, I also want to know what I did."

He only remembered fainting during the battle.

Emi turned her tablet toward Qi Ming: "I recorded it all."

The tablet played the recording of Cosmos fighting Stone King and the cactus Super Beast; the first half was Cosmos being beaten unilaterally.

But after he "froze" for a moment, he perked up again, full of spirit, fighting with great momentum.

Looking at Cosmos in the second half, performing like a tiger descending a mountain, Qi Ming was surprised in various ways.

This palm, this top, is completely my fighting style.

Qi Ming couldn't help but think of the plot in "Spider-Man: No Way Home": Doctor Strange knocked Spider-Man's soul out of his body, but Spider-Man's hands still swung around restlessly without his soul, not letting Doctor Strange take the thing back.

This is probably the same situation—it's a physical fighting instinct reaction.

Automatic hosting being able to fight like this is already quite good; it has 60% of my own skill.

Soon, Qi Ming saw the apartment collapse with a crash, crushing the two children.

He clapped desperately, making Moroboshi Dan's face turn black.

Moroboshi Dan said with a dark face: "You are very happy?"

Qi Ming: "Two antisocial personality children were gone before they could grow into bigger disasters; I feel very relieved."

Moroboshi Dan: "How old are they? What can they understand? They still have infinite possibilities in the future."

In short—they are still children, why quibble with children?

Qi Ming: "When I was in the first grade of primary school, I would put things I picked up in the lost and found, trying my best not to cause trouble for others."

In the original series, these two brats performed very outrageously, and in the end, nothing happened, and they were let off lightly.

Here, there was finally retribution.

Emi coughed: "Actually, they didn't die, just..."

Because of long-term compression leading to necrosis, Songben Songben Sanlang's pair of arms had to be amputated, while Mingfu suffered vocal cord damage and became a mute, and was also disfigured.

Moroboshi Dan nodded: "As long as they are still alive, there is still hope."

Qi Ming hit back ruthlessly: "It would be better to die and be relieved; think about the level of living hell they will have to suffer next."

"Falling into such a serious disability at a young age, how much expense will parents have to raise them? Can they have a good face for them after they did beastly things?"

"But being able to raise such children, they indeed should be responsible for this."

"Next, these two children will always have to go to school, right? They will always have to socialize, right?"

"How will the people around them look at them knowing they were once accomplices to monster destruction? When the time comes for school bullying, how will these two disabled people handle it?"

"I heard that Japan's suicide rate has always been high; I estimate they will soon become one of them... suffering and tormenting before death, heh!"

Moroboshi Dan was furious: "Your heart is too dark!"

Qi Ming looked at Emi: "Emi, am I dark?"

Emi peeked at Moroboshi Dan: "This... those two children were a bit excessive."

Because of their messing around, the disaster expanded, and many people lost their lives—Emi felt that there was no reason why a child's life was more precious than an adult's; every life is equal.

Qi Ming: "Rather than calling them children, it's better to call them two demons in human skin."

"This world is so dangerous; basically, monster disasters happen every month."

"They still went to be accomplices to monsters under the influence; they were rotten at the root."

He suggested to Moroboshi Dan: "Captain, I suggest the propaganda department start up and list these two children as negative examples and promote them well."

"Just like anti-drug efforts, let other children know the consequences of touching monsters, and let them notify the TPC the first time they find abnormalities instead of messing around."

"I don't want one day to see brats hiding monsters and giving them a developmental environment again; if that happens, the beating I took for transforming will have been in vain."

Moroboshi Dan was even angrier; using them as propaganda material, isn't this forcing people to a dead end?

He soon realized something: "You... Emi is still here; did you say the wrong thing just now?"

Qi Ming smiled: "With Member Emi's cleverness, she probably realized it long ago."

Emi looked at Qi Ming seriously: "But I still hope to hear you say it yourself, Member Qi Ming."

"No problem." Qi Ming pointed at Moroboshi Dan: "He is Ultraman Imaginary Saiwen."

He pointed at himself again: "I am Ultraman Tiga, Ultraman Gaia, Ultraman Cosmos, Ultraman Mebius, and I have also turned into Ultraman Imaginary Saiwen twice."

Emi: "?"

Qi Ming: "Nova, Golza, Melba, Gazort, Taro-ches, Antlar, I can also turn into them; that Gleeza from that day was also me."

Emi: "???"

………………………………

At the same time, in the deep mountains.

The mountain wind blew, and the sound of pine waves undulating came, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, appearing exceptionally gloomy.

A man wearing a leather jacket with a weary face walked out and looked at the small town that was abnormally quiet on the side.

He is the Dunamis of Ultraman Nexus—Ji Shi Zhun.

He held his breath and concentrated, capturing a "jellyfish"-like phantom flashing away in the sky.
