Chapter 462: 455 Eradicate All Injustice, Repair Every Defect

Feng Yuan panicked upon hearing this: “What do we do now?”

Qi Ming: “I’ll go communicate with Ren Long, ask it to help find Luo En and keep an eye on it.”

Without delay, Qi Ming went to the Tear Altar; upon arriving, he received a message from Hui Mei.

A new incident has occurred—Shan Zhong has caused a massive mess.

“Breaking news: Another monster has landed on the coast of Miyazaki City, but it’s not destroying anything—instead… it’s grinding its teeth. Does it have a toothache? Is it cavities?”

“No, no—it’s not cavities. A water rocket got stuck in its tooth gap. It looks in agony, so it’s trying to knock the rocket out against the seaside rocks.”

After seeing the photo, Qi Ming fell silent.

Zhuxing Group probably never imagined that sending Shan Zhong to conduct missile tests would trigger this incident.

He recognized this monster—it was [Sheltar] from Episode 13 of Ultraman Taro, “The Monster’s Toothache!”

In the original episode, this monster was merely sleeping on the ocean floor when it was accidentally struck by a water rocket fired by ZAT during training.

Sheltar, in unbearable pain, came ashore seeking help; ZAT planned to use the mechanical arm of the Whale Ship to pull the rocket from its mouth.

But due to Higashi Kotoro’s mishandling, he pulled out Sheltar’s healthy tooth instead. The monster, in excruciating pain, flew into a rage and unleashed fire in attack.

In the end, Higashi Kotoro transformed into Ultraman Taro to fight, and together with ZAT, they killed Sheltar.

Summary: A harmless local monster just slept peacefully at home—because of ZAT’s consecutive blunders, it was inexplicably killed.

So tragic…

In this world, though there was no Higashi Kotoro, Shan Zhong did exactly what Higashi had done in the original episode—he fired a missile that struck the monster’s tooth gap, causing it agony and forcing it ashore.

The worldline converged in this way… this world truly is full of surprises…

But Qi Ming would never allow this innocent “honest monster” to suffer such a senseless fate.

“Shan Zhong, was this intentional or accidental? How could you hit it so precisely…” Gagura’s expression turned strange upon hearing this.

“How was I supposed to know there’d be a monster there!” Shan Zhong was nearly in tears.

Qi Ming held up his PDI communicator: “Deploy Ascalon. Have it pull out the missile. Once the toothache is gone, the monster will naturally return to the sea.”

At that moment, Ren Long, emerging from the Tear Altar beside him, let out a roar: “Roar.”

Qi Ming: “Have you found Luo En already? Where is it?”

Ren Long: “Roar.”

Qi Ming stared blankly: “No way… it went to the Victorious Sanctuary?”

In the original episode, Luo En merely absorbed geothermal energy to grow stronger.

But in this world, Luo En, burrowing underground, sensed a far stronger energy source and, drawn by instinct, headed toward it.

So it crawled into the Victorious Sanctuary, intending to steal Victorious Ore—and was immediately apprehended by Xie Padun.

Qi Ming: “...”

He sighed wearily, pulled out his PDI communicator, and contacted [Xiang]: “Uh… mind if I ask—did a monster just show up at your place?”

[Xiang]: “Yes, a fierce one—but Xie Padun has already pinned it down.”

Qi Ming: “That’s Leo’s pet…”

After explaining the situation, he was about to transform and eliminate Luo En—but [Xiang], moved by Luo En’s plight, asked: “What should we do?”

Qi Ming: “Take this monster to the coast of Miyazaki City. After Ascalon pulls the missile out of Sheltar’s tooth, bring it directly to Kataka Islands.”

After using his connections to smooth things over, Qi Ming arrived first at the Miyazaki coast in his Drumm car, where he saw Sheltar raging wildly.

The commotion on the shore drew Xiang Tenggong; Qi Ming got out and greeted him.

“...That’s the story. This is a marine monster—your words should carry weight.”

“Go tell it to stay still and not struggle. The pain will end soon. ZAT made this mess—let ZAT clean it up.”

Xiang Tenggong nodded and walked toward Sheltar with Qi Ming.

The police had already cordoned off the area, barring all unauthorized personnel—but when they saw Qi Ming, they immediately removed their hats in salute and cleared a path.

“Stay strong. Struggling only makes it worse. Stay put—help is coming.” Xiang Tenggong extended his Blue Sapphire Bracelet; light spilled over Sheltar.

Sheltar, moments ago roaring in fury, instantly calmed under the will of the ocean, lying still on the sand to await rescue.

Soon after, Ai Ran Cheng arrived by helicopter.

Though Ascalon was originally meant to transport Luo En, Ai Ran Cheng, thrilled at the prospect of a new resident on his Kataka Islands, insisted on overseeing the operation personally.

Given its backstory, he figured he could monopolize the trending headlines for the next week.
