Chapter 508

Captain Himuro briefly recounted his journey, and when they heard that Qi Ming had cut through wave after wave of mechanical Ultramen like chopping vegetables to reach this place, everyone froze in shock.

What Captain Himuro said seriously could not be false.

First Officer Hazumi stared blankly—if that were true, then Qi Ming wasn’t just reliable; he was absurdly reliable!

One shouldn’t have speculated so carelessly about a hero like this…

Inada’s eyes sparkled: “A new Ultraman warrior!”

Qi Ming, with eyes closed, spoke calmly: “I’m just a human who can transform into an Ultraman through equipment—I’m no different from you at the core.”

Inada grew even more excited: “Wow, so humble, so cool.”

【Rai】 sincerely thanked Qi Ming for blocking the fatal blow to the Panlong: “Thank you for saving us all.”

Qi Ming opened his eyes: “It was nothing. Besides, if it were you, you wouldn’t have stood by either. Rai, we’ve finally met.”

As he spoke, Qi Ming activated 【See Through】, piercing through 【Rai】’s uniform to see the skin on his chest.

The skin was unblemished—no scar left by the Ice Axe strike in “Great Monster Fight Season 2.”

As expected, just like in the original series, the 【Rai】 aboard the Panlong had awakened only once.

He had never participated in the “Reonix Finals,” had never been struck by Seven’s Ice Axe, and thus had not yet overcome his Reonix’s warlike instinct to truly transcend his fate.

Then let’s just take him to Earth in the Hybrid Universe to fight in the Reonix Finals—it doesn’t matter where we fight.

As Qi Ming thought this, Toregia shattered the wall with the Victory Hyper Gun, revealing the prisoner in the adjacent cell to everyone.

It was a middle-aged man, covered in wounds, eyes closed, unconscious.

Dada: “Who’s this guy?”

Toregia: “He looks like he’s been here a long time.”

Emi froze as if struck by lightning, her pupils dilating in shock.

She rubbed her eyes, stared at the middle-aged man’s face for a long moment, then spoke.

“Dad?”

There was no mistake—the man was Aoba Juri, her father, Aoba Emi.

Why was her father, who should have vanished, here… wait!

Emi remembered: she had once tracked down her father’s colleague, 【Nishizaki Tsutomu】, after his disappearance.

Nishizaki Tsutomu told her that during the final uncontrolled experiment, the artificially created wormhole collapsed, and the energy surge swept her father and several other scientists into an "unknown place."

That unknown place hung between two suns.

And the planet where the Salomean experiment base stood also had two suns!

It matched!

Qi Ming realized this too, and was equally astonished.

He never expected father and daughter would reunite under such circumstances.

“Dad! Dad!” Emi rushed forward, frantically shaking Aoba Juri’s shoulders.

Aoba Juri slowly opened his eyes, then closed them again: “Emi… I must be hallucinating.”

Emi shook him harder: “It’s not a hallucination! I heard from Mr. Nishizaki Tsutomu that you vanished into the collapsing wormhole—what really happened?”

“Nishizaki Tsutomu…” Hearing the name of his former colleague, Aoba Juri opened his eyes again, studying Emi closely: “Emi… it’s really you. How did you get here?”

His tone turned frantic.

To him, this place was a deadly forbidden zone for Earthlings.

If his daughter was here, wouldn’t she suffer—or worse, meet an even more terrible fate?

“I came with Teammate Qi Ming to rescue people and stop the Salomeans’ ambitions,” Emi said.
