Chapter 491: 484 A Real Ultraman Springs From Mechanical Ultraman (12)

As Captain Moroboshi pulled the control lever, Mechanical Ultraman slowly descended before Uroga.

In the communication channel, Yamakawa asked: “Captain, are you really okay?”

Moroboshi held the thick manual: “No problem—I just read through the operation guide.”

Qi Ming believed Moroboshi wasn’t faking it; with his civil servant plus Ultraman learning ability, he probably could truly learn it.

Uroga sensed the hostile intent of Mechanical Ultraman and immediately fired a purple destructive beam.

Moroboshi yanked the control lever hard, rolled sideways to evade the attack, and began close combat.

“I’ll handle this guy,” Qi Ming said, glancing at Uroga and Mechanical Ultraman fighting three blocks away, then at the eye-q before him.

There were only three Star Gifts left on the dial—using them to transform wouldn’t be wise; it was time to use the remaining free trial “inventory.”

He spun the dial and slammed it down—a monster resembling a hybrid of lobster and crab, its eyes glowing red, appeared before the eye-q.

The Cosmic Sea Beast [Lei Qiu Ba] appears.

“Huh!” The demon Gui Shilang inside the eye-q froze—what is this?

During the time I waited to be reborn, Earth seems to have gained some strange new things.

Qi Ming activated [Amplification], temporarily converting three Star Gifts into a 3% Quanfangweizengfu . Lei Qiu Ba unleashed a rapid barrage of fireballs, striking the eye-q and forcing it backward.

Definitely an enemy.

The eye-q transformed by Gui Shilang immediately retaliated, firing purple destructive energy balls in return.

Watching the battle, Shinjo Akane murmured: “The left hand and right hand of the Five Emperors are fighting each other—this world really can turn into anything.”

After exchanging one round of beams, Qi Ming seized the chance to close in on the eye-q and engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

The eye-q’s close-range combat ability was weak; in the original series, it was driven into a panic by Gaia V2 and only managed to counterattack by feigning death.

Against the armored Lei Qiu Ba, with its right arm useless, it couldn’t even break through its defense.

“Bang!” After being blasted back again, the eye-q summoned three small eyeballs and fired beams at Lei Qiu Ba.

Qi Ming reacted instantly, sidestepped the attack, then fired fireballs that obliterated all three small eyeballs at once.

For the next two minutes, both sides fought fiercely, but the eye-q gained no advantage and kept taking hits.

Gui Shilang’s heart sank deeper and deeper—how drastically the times had changed; he, the strongest sorcerer, couldn’t even defeat a giant crab.

Damn it!

Just as he prepared to retreat, a familiar, sharp cry rang out: “Inherently evil demon Gui Shilang, you wretched beast—you’re harming mortals again!”

In that moment, Gui Shilang felt as if plunged into ice.

Gui Shilang turned stiffly, the eye-q staring at the swordsman on the street—his blood turned cold.

Jin Tian Jin Long—there was no mistake, it was his soul!

He really didn’t die—he’s still alive.

And what’s with that look? How am I harming mortals again? I haven’t even done anything yet—I’ve just been getting beaten this whole time!

Taking advantage of his stunned shock, Qi Ming fired five fireballs in rapid succession, slamming them into the eye-q and sending it flying backward again.

As it struggled to rise and attempt teleportation, Qi Ming switched forms—Lei Qiu Ba’s eyes turned blue.

Lei Qiu Ba no longer generated heat—it now generated cold.

Super-cold gas erupted, coating the eye-q, which instantly froze solid, immobilized.

Qi Ming walked up to the frozen eye-q and brought down his massive claw, shattering both the eye-q and its icy casing into pieces.

Then Jin Tian Jin Long swung his blade again—sacred sword qi surged, pulverizing the fragments of the eye-q.

“No!” Gui Shilang let out his final, desperate cry before vanishing completely with the eye-q.

Eye-q, Gui Shilang—confirmed dead.

A blue speck of light rose and was absorbed by the Ultraman Arbitrary Key.

[Storage/Conversion].

Qi Ming decisively chose Storage—the silhouette of the eye-q appeared on the dial screen.
