Chapter 307: 303 The Red Ball Repulsed by Amaterasu

Queen Amaterasu bent down to pick up the ball, glancing left and right for its owner, when suddenly a powerful sense of wish-granting appeared in her heart.

It was as if an invisible voice whispered to her—make your desire known to me, and I shall fulfill it.

Queen Amaterasu murmured involuntarily:

"If only someone who truly understands and supports me would appear—like the legendary Ultraman, descending from the heavens to halt war."

"Come, one who brings light and peace—protect my will and my faith, appear swiftly."

The next moment, the red ball erupted in intense light.

"Hm?"

Queen Amaterasu closed her eyes against the blinding red glow, feeling a strange sensation—something was scanning her mind, her thoughts.

"Ugh…" Then she heard a sound like retching.

The next moment, when the red light faded, Queen Amaterasu found the red ball gone from her hand.

Having scanned her memories and thoughts, the red ball had been repulsed.

Yet, upholding its "professional duty," the red ball still fulfilled Queen Amaterasu's wish.

Meanwhile, Qi Ming, having awakened from unconsciousness, was enveloped in the light of the Orb Saint Sword alongside Kai and Gagura, hurtling toward the planet Star Zaiyin where Dr. Saisi resided.

"Transforming into an Ultraman must consume a lot," Gagura kept subtly probing Qi Ming's limits along the way.

Qi Ming nodded: "Yes, the energy drain after transformation is dozens of times greater than before."

"Before transformation, I could run for hours straight, but after transforming, even a few minutes of combat leaves me exhausted."

"But my condition last time was terrible; now that I've rested enough, I'm fine."

Last time, his condition was terrible…

Kai nodded repeatedly: "I understand—Qi Ming, you arrived in this star system long ago, and before meeting us, you fought nonstop against those Balishibes, wearing yourself down. Amazing!"

Qi Ming shook his head: "No, I haven't been here long. My weakness stems from using a high-risk strategy to repel the Kiliailode invasion of Earth."

Gagura interjected: "You're from a planet called 'Earth'? I've heard of the Kiliailode—they're a bunch of hypocrites who brandish justice while baring their fangs. You stopped their invasion?"

If that's true, this Ultraman is impressive indeed.

Qi Ming nodded: "Yes. To ensure those bastards never bother us again, I wiped them all out."

Gagura: "?"

Wiped out every single Kiliailode?

Are you exaggerating?

Kai, ever trusting, exclaimed: "Incredible, Senior Qi Ming! Could you share your combat insights? How do you face the fate of becoming an Ultraman?"

Qi Ming: "There's no standard answer. If I must give mine—stand firm in what you believe, and do what you think is right."

Though his voice was soft, the conviction within made Gagura's heart tremble—he felt Qi Ming's belief, something no fraud could fake.

He might truly be remarkable.

Kai repeated the words: "Stand firm in what I believe, do what I think is right… Senior, look—what's that!"

A red spacecraft was surrounded by a swarm of Sfia, dodging their laser fire relentlessly.

"That's the Gannon ship," Qi Ming thought. He remembered in the original plot, when Kai and Gagura encountered this ship, it was about to be swallowed whole by Belmonstein.

In this fused world, due to the Sfia's interference, the ship now struggled merely to resist them.

"Senior, let me go!" Kai looked to Qi Ming.

Qi Ming nodded: "Yes, gain more experience."

Kai first used his swordlight to pierce through the hull, carrying all three directly into the cockpit, then swung the Saint Sword violently, transforming once more into Orb.

This stunned Gogen and Tachibana, who had been ordered to pursue Senra's squad.

"Who are you? How did you get in…? So cool!" When her gaze shifted to Qi Ming, Tachibana couldn't help exclaiming.

Qi Ming: "We're here to help you. Look."

He pointed ahead—through the cockpit, they could see Ultraman Orb battling a swarm of Sfia.

His figure carved a brilliant streak through space, energy coalescing into a crescent-shaped blade that split three Sfia spheres midair.

Qi Ming: "Indeed, even ordinary Sfia spheres don't reach Class C..."

More Sfia converged from all directions, like a silver swarm, encircling Orb completely.

Qi Ming said to Gagura: "Gagura, pilot this ship and assist your friend. I'll ask these two girls about Gannon."

Gagura nodded but added: "He's not my friend."

Qi Ming: "You don't want to see Orb immobilized by Sfia and assimilated, do you?"

Gagura said nothing, silently taking the pilot's seat.

Gogen, though yielding the seat, muttered discontentedly: "So pushy—just shows up and takes the controls. Don't break anything..."

Qi Ming got straight to the point: "I want to know Gannon's current situation and how far Dr. Saisi's plan has progressed. Let's exchange intelligence—you're curious about us too, aren't you?"

Having seen Kai pierce the hull and transform into a giant, Gogen and Tachibana were naturally curious, following Qi Ming to the rear.

They recounted what they knew; Qi Ming nodded—it matched the first and second episodes of "Primordial Beginnings."

"Still time," Qi Ming then explained about Kai, Gagura, and himself.

"That giant is Ultraman Orb. The one who transforms into him is Kai. His mission is to eliminate the cosmic demons Balishibes—your natural allies."

"The man in the cockpit is Gagura—Kai's friend."

Gagura immediately repeated: "Not a friend!"

"Fine, fine, not a friend, not a friend," Qi Ming replied dismissively.

Qi Ming concluded with his own introduction: "I'm Qi Ming, a human from Earth. Since I've encountered Gagura and Kai, as their senior, I naturally look out for them."

At this, Gogen and Tachibana turned pale.

Gogen: "Earth—the planet that invaded Dr. Professor Professor Chaoying, destroying his family?"

Qi Ming was stunned.

Dr. Professor Professor Chaoying—that's Agramus's alias!

"Wish fulfillment"? Has Queen Amaterasu truly allied with Agramus?
