Chapter 322: 318 Qi Ming: Will You Submit to Me, or Die Here?

On the planet Gano, Qi Ming's Cosmic Corona Gao Si stood alone against five monsters, yet his aura was by no means inferior.

He merely leaned forward slightly, and two Balixibos dared not move.

At that moment, the gloom that had settled over the people of Gano after their God of War fell was swept away by Qi Ming's mere presence.

Merely standing there, he inspired confidence and courage in others.

This was Gao Si Ultraman—Qi Ming's Gao Si Ultraman.

Miraculean: "Then fine… leave it to you."

He, battered and bruised, shrank to human size and followed them to safety.

Qi Ming nodded and walked to the fallen God of War, locking eyes with him as he lifted his head.

Qi Ming: "Your strength as God of War isn't weak, but you're still too hesitant."

Hearing that voice, Queen Tensho said: "You're…"

Qi Ming: "You remember me—the one who cursed you to your face on the Szack ship's video call."

Queen Tensho froze: "It's you… you said I'd ruin everything, and that if I became God of War, you'd attack me too."

Qi Ming: "Yes, I said that—but under these circumstances…"

He looked around at the charred corpses, the toppled buildings—this devastation made him sigh involuntarily.

"You're a complete idiot, your indecisive flip-flopping is cosmic-level performance art, acting on whims with zero regard for the bigger picture…"

"You have countless flaws, but from Gano's standpoint, your transformation this time was justified."

If Muso had promised Tensho, "Don't worry—I once defeated Delaxiwenghaipajiedun; for the future of the universe, I'll handle this enemy, you don't need to transform"—and then turned into his strongest future form and obliterated every enemy, then Tensho's involvement would've been madness.

But Muso didn't. He refused to speak plainly, insisted on being cryptic, stoked the fire, and watched impassively as the hyper-beasts slaughtered Gano's people.

Tensho had no choice but to transform—because the enemy had launched a full-scale assault; if she didn't act, her subjects would be wiped out.

Even if her battle performance was pitiful, it couldn't negate the moment she stood up to defend her people against invasion.

Qi Ming shifted tone: "But you're unprepared, you lack resolve. If you truly want to protect your people, step back—this is my fight now."

This was Qi Ming: resolute in will, insisting on his principle of "reason first, physics if reason fails"—even when facing Queen Tensho.

"I think…" Queen Tensho lowered her head in silence.

Qi Ming hurriedly said: "Don't think—I told you, don't waste energy on thinking. Your logic isn't sharp enough to make the right call. Just step aside before you become a liability."

Queen Tensho: "But…"

Qi Ming grew impatient: "No buts! If you don't leave, I'll make you leave—by force."

With that, Gao Si's right hand began charging energy, clearly preparing to deliver a knockout strike to Queen Tensho.

This made Muso's eyes widen.

What's this? Is this Gao Si going to attack an ally? No, I must be overthinking it?

The next moment, one Balixibo, under Kui's signal, charged energy and fired a fireball from its chest toward Gano's city, triggering cries of alarm.

Qi Ming saw it—the Miraculean who had once saved him was in that direction. He immediately stood and slashed the fireball apart with his right-hand strike.

This relieved Muso—he realized Gao Si had been charging energy to guard against enemies and protect innocent lives.

Muso: "Of course—faced with these endless screams, an Ultraman would never stand idle!"

Seeing the enemy could no longer hold back, Qi Ming temporarily set aside Queen Tensho and charged toward the two hyper-beasts and two Balixibos.

Against four opponents, he struck first! "Going on the offensive? How courageous," said Professor Caiqi, watching from the spaceship, smiling.

He didn't believe anyone could fight four at once.

"Light warrior, let me see if you can use light to sweep away the sorrow of this universe," Caiqi said, mocking.

Gao Si Ultraman's form blurred suddenly, leaving a blue afterimage in the air.

So fast!

Bakuxim was still charging; the Balixibos' compound eyes hadn't even locked onto their target before he was already inside their formation.

"Crash!"

Qi Ming's first punch slammed into Belaukun's abdomen—its electronic scales instantly cracked. The bio-weapon that had once cornered the God of War was flung backward, crashing into the mountainside where Kui stood.

Such immense power!

Bakuxim spat a blue high-temperature projectile, but Gao Si dodged with the smallest motion—a slight sidestep, and the projectile grazed his shoulder.

The next instant, he seized Bakuxim's single horn with one hand and delivered a heavy kick to its chest.

"Crash!"

With a sickening crunch, Bakuxim staggered back, collapsing half the cliffside.

The two Balixibos finally reacted, their four pairs of insect wings vibrating rapidly as they flanked him from both sides. Their tail stingers glowed with lethal poison, their attack paths as precise as a programmed killing algorithm.

Qi Ming didn't even turn his head.

When the left Balixibo's stinger was only three meters from his nape, he spun suddenly, snatched the incoming stinger with his right hand, and used its momentum to swing the entire monster overhead, slamming it into the right Balixibo.

"Boom!"

The two creatures collided, shrieking in agony.

One against four—and he held the upper hand!

The people of Gano froze, then erupted in cheers.

This Ultraman is so strong—the opponent even the Queen-turned-God-of-War couldn't defeat, he's winning!

Professor Caiqi's smile vanished: "Send more troops from space."

Padir: "Bad news—there are enemies in space too!"

Caiqi hurriedly checked the monitors—Szack's ship was racing toward Gano.

Ultraman Orb burst from the ship and clashed with the adult Balixibos blockading Gano, while Szack's ship fired to clear the surrounding larvae.

Damn! The space fleet's been pinned down!

What do we do now?!

As Caiqi panicked, a figure in a blue bodysuit stepped from the shade and walked toward the battlefield.

It was Agamus.

"Flowers, trees, sky, breeze, clouds, sun, rainbow, ocean, beach, forest, stones, sand, earth…"

He held the 【Fiz Enhancement Device】, murmuring to himself.

Yesterday's sixteen-thousand-word update drained me, but ancestral law cannot change—I must update at noon sharp.

So here's one chapter first; I'll try to release the second before two.
