Chapter 492: 485 Shinjo Nishi: Is My Tongue Flexible, Right?!

Two minutes later, the Saiwen who could only move on Earth for three minutes vanished.

Just as Uroga thought the terrible torment had ended, Qi Ming took over.

Lei Qiu Ba spat out freezing air, encasing Uroga’s lower body in ice, then pressed down on its neck again.

Uroga slapped the ground with its hand: “I really can’t breathe—give me a quick death.”

Qi Ming: “Don’t rush. You’ll die in thirty minutes.”

Monsters have no time limit—I can pin you down all day.

Thirty minutes later, Ajamus and Toregia successfully replaced the old chip in Kurosaki Rena’s brain with a new one; according to observations, her vital signs were stable.

Uroga’s scheme had been foiled; Kurosaki Rena was no longer their hostage—she was free.

After seeing Moroboshi Dan’s “OK” gesture, Qi Ming, who had guarded for thirty minutes, unleashed a barrage of fireballs, blasting off its head.

A green dot floated out from Uroga’s headless corpse and was absorbed by the Ultraman Arbitrary Key.

[Access/Transform].

No wonder Uroga, whose kill speed rivals that of the Natanian from Ultraman Tiga, is nothing but a C-class weakling without its tricks.

Qi Ming chose transformation; his Star Ci value rose to 4 points.

Both enemies eliminated; everything was over.

The next morning, Qi Ming personally escorted Shuusaku home.

Qi Ming: “Your superpower is gone?”

Shuusaku didn’t look disappointed: “Yeah, now I won’t be controlled or harassed by my ancestors anymore.”

Qi Ming: “You can finally sleep peacefully. Good. I hope you always have the courage you showed last night to defy fate, no matter what difficulties you face.”

When he returned to the TPC maritime base, his teammates had also seen off Kurosaki Rena.

The Jelurimina No. 3 project team under Alchemy Star learned of her story; they thanked TPC profusely and invited Rena to visit the completed space station to see the Chengguo she had poured her heart into.

“No need to be so formal—helping each other is only natural.”

“She’s a kind and brave person. I hope she finds happiness.”

Shinjo Nishi appeared mysteriously beside Qi Ming: “How’s it feel, having the power to change tragedy? Coming to this world isn’t so bad, right?”

Qi Ming shrugged: “It’s just finding joy in hardship.”

He turned the dial of the Arbitrary Key; the silhouettes of Golzan, Meirba, Lei Qiu Ba, and Eye Q appeared in sequence.

Shinjo Nishi: “We’re still missing Super Gobu to complete the Five Emperors—it’s pretty strong too.”

Though it was captured multiple times by Tiga, Dyna, and Gaia, its overall strength still surpasses Gaia SV by half a level, given that the Heisei Trio had to cooperate to defeat it.

Qi Ming: “Do you have a way to get Super Gobu?”

Relying on Star Gathering is like searching for a needle in an ocean—too improbable.

Shinjo Nishi thought for a moment: “Yes.”

She clasped her hands together: “Let’s pray that Super Gobu appears before us soon.”

Qi Ming: “...Pray?”

Shinjo Nishi: “Don’t underestimate the power of a girl’s sincere prayer!”

She grabbed Hime, who was passing by with documents: “Hime-chan, come pray with us for Qi Ming.”

A look of confusion crossed Hime’s pale face, but she was pulled into this “girl’s prayer” anyway.

……………………………………

Two days later, Qi Ming’s Star Ci value reached 5 points.

That afternoon, the victory team’s command room served cherries for afternoon fruit.

Hohara stumbled into the room, collapsed onto the sofa, looking like a dead man.

I’m exhausted.

A few hours ago, he underwent another “Hell Training” session with Toregia.

Same old formula—Moroboshi Dan drove the jeep, then Qi Ming summoned Mosu-aga and Gega Leide , two powerhouse opponents... sheer torture.

Qi Ming sat nearby: “Your recovery ability is strong, so you’re progressing faster than Toregia. Keep going.”

Hohara panted: “But... Toregia is smarter than me—he can build equipment.”

During their private “training duo” talks, Toregia had revealed his plan—to enhance himself with technology.

Dissatisfied with his beam power, he intended to build a device to amplify his beams, starting with his own.

Qi Ming had heard about it—he thought this was exactly the “Ultimate Transcendence Technology” from the finale of Ultraman Mebius.

That device was created by humans to respond to the Ultraman’s will, capable of amplifying an Ultraman’s beams.

I hope he succeeds.

By the way, Moroboshi Dan didn’t return to the command room—he was now offering suggestions for the repair and modification of Mechanical Saiwen.

Moroboshi Dan: “The legs should be more flexible to improve mobility; the chest armor can be lighter... otherwise, even Saiwen would struggle to fight under such heavy armor.”

Most engineers listened seriously, but one engineer pushed back: “I’ve watched every single battle footage of Ultraman Saiwen at least five times over the past few years—I know all his moves. Can you understand Saiwen better than I do?”

Moroboshi Dan’s expression twisted for an instant, then he forced a polite, awkward smile: “Hmm... I do understand Saiwen, a little.”

……………………………………

“Qi Ming, look! I learned it—the signature technique of ‘Kakyoin’ from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure! Impressive, right?”

Inside the Victory Team command room, Shinjo Nishi raised her hand after eating the afternoon fruit.
