Now join him on his way out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Salomeans, had Diabolo not appeared suddenly, they would have struggled against Shan Te’s overwhelming momentum—after all, even their final trump card, the Modified Imperial Mechanical Soldiers, had been pushed to the brink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And without Shan Te tying up Diabolo, the dimensional core storm could never have succeeded in exiling Diabolo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two enemies of the Salomeans had fought each other to the death—one had withdrawn, the other was spent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was their turn to reap the benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial Mechanical Soldier fired its ocular laser; Qi Ming rolled aside. The Mechanical Ultraseven hurled his ice axe at Shan Te, who blocked it with a newly summoned Shining Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heralodia grew even more smug: “Oh? Why aren’t you as powerful as before? This desperate flailing is ugly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Mei, unable to watch any longer, prepared to come to his aid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tregea suddenly spoke: “I found it—a backdoor leading into the Salomeans’ base. We must get Qi Ming away from these things quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Qi Ming took another deep breath: “Getting away is too much trouble. Just eliminate them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, he leapt into the air and delivered a side kick that sent the Mechanical Ultraman Original flying; upon landing, he swept his leg high, toppling Mechanical Ultraseven, then jumped and unleashed a double aerial kick that sent Mechanical Ultraman Zoffy and Mechanical Ultraman Jack crashing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the final charging Imperial Mechanical Soldier, Shan Te delivered a high roundhouse kick to its head, sending the machine spinning two and a half times through the air before it crashed heavily to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heralodia froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weren’t you barely able to stand? How could you still fight with such ferocity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ordinary people, it’s one surge of strength, then decline, then exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Qi Ming… it’s one surge, then another surge, and if needed, even a third surge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think only you can use a human wave tactic? Let me solve you with this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back home, Qi Ming had learned a set of techniques called [Ares Martial Arts] from a neighbor, Uncle [Qing Zizai]; the Electric Blade Wind Kick and the Shifting Shadow Step both originated from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, there was one technique he had never used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was called [Eight-Position Shift], said to be able to “attack enemies simultaneously from eight directions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mind leads body—project my intent to the target positions, and strike all enemies…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, Shan Te split into eight, and eight Eternal Shining Trigals appeared, launching assaults against the Imperial Mechanical Soldier and the four Mechanical Ultrabrothers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight left Heralodia stunned—and even Hui Mei and Tregea, who knew Qi Ming well, were speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew Shan Te could split into three, but eight? That was too brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Swish! Swish! Swish!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each Mechanical Ultrabrother was overwhelmed by a single clone and utterly destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining four clones simultaneously surrounded the Imperial Mechanical Soldier, their blades flashing—its body was pierced, battered, and its systems shut down instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, victory was secured!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this barrage, Shan Te’s clones merged back into one; the colored timer of Eternal Shining Trigal flickered frantically, then went dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan Te’s form vanished; Qi Ming appeared where he had stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He collapsed onto the ground, overwhelming fatigue sweeping over him, darkening his vision and nearly knocking him unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The cost of this technique… is fucking insane.” Even Qi Ming, known for his impeccable composure, couldn’t help cursing.\u003C\u002Fp>",738,"2026-06-19T16:40:34.912Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0684d0fc152a604adb3022ff528d96a375821d656f162f7a5a86cf5b6b061dee","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-507","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-505",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-cover.jpg"]
